About Leslie

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I have been caring for children ages newborn to 13 years old for the last 25+ years. I am a classically trained opera singer, but I have been caring for children as a profession for the last 25 years. I have found that my training as a musician has been incredibly helpful when caring for children on a variety of levels. Many children enjoy playing music and I try to engage them musically when appropriate or relevant. But I also have found that, as in music, approach and timing are critical. I pride myself on being emotionally attuned to the spoken and unspoken needs of children. Some kids like to do art and be active on the playground; some kids like quiet time and reading. I work with every family and child to assess their specific needs and match our activities to the personality of the child. I take great pride in watching them learn, grow, develop, and gain independence.

We recently hired Leslie to watch our 2 month old while I went back to work and I immediately felt comfortable leaving my daughter in her care. Leslie is energetic yet very calming and friendly. She sang and talked to my daughter all day - it was clear Penelope had a great week while in her care. She also got her to eat more from the bottle than I could! Bonus points for that!
