About Leona

Experience: 6 yrs

I am a compassionate, attentive caregiver who builds trusting relationships with children in a safe, loving environment where they feel heard, supported, and encouraged to grow. I love working with children and find joy in watching them learn, grow, and build confidence. I bring patience, warmth, and structure, turning everyday moments into meaningful learning through play and creativity. I began in high school as a youth advocate in community programs supporting children and families, which shaped my passion for childcare and education. In my spare time, I'm an artist who hosts sensory art workshops for children that encourage creativity and expression. I'm also active in my community through youth programs. I enjoy time with my fiancé and our maltipoo Salem, doing simple activities like building Legos and watching movies. I don't just supervise children I invest in their emotional and developmental growth, creating a calm, safe space where they feel valued, confident, and seen.

Leona has been one of the most compassionate and attentive caregivers we’ve ever had. Her connection with children is natural and deeply heartfelt. She approaches every moment with patience, understanding, and care that goes far beyond basic babysitting. She took the time to learn our child’s routine, preferences, and emotional needs, and always responded with kindness and consistency. Whether it was calming difficult moments, encouraging learning through play, or simply being a steady, loving presence, Leona handled everything with grace. Our child felt safe enough to open up, laugh freely, and grow in confidence under her care. We are truly grateful for the love and dedication she brought into our home.
