About Leanna
Experience: 7 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I have extensive experience as both a caretaker and a certified dance/yoga teacher. I have spent the last 6 years teaching creative movement/yoga to pre-k- 3rd grade. Prior to that I was a caretaker for several different families for about 7 years. I have worked with a large range of children who all have strong individual differences whether it be in age, special needs, behavior, development, experience, or interests, which has helped me to become more adaptive and understanding of children's needs. The duties I have undertaken as a caregiver include: helping with homework, changing diapers, cooking dinner, bedtime, taking them to after-school activities, and of course hanging out and having fun! I'm extremely personable and have an easygoing disposition but understand the importance of structure in a child's development. I have honestly enjoyed every family I have worked with and value what I have learned from each child.

She's considerate and cares about the kids not only being safe but also having fun. She's one of the few babysitters we had that actually cleaned up after the kids. She's always on time or in touch about her schedule. Nothing seems to faze her when it comes to dealing with kids. She's more mature than her age suggests. Our kids loved her and she related to an 11 year old boy and 3 year old girl with ease and grace. A family would be lucky to have her be a part of their lives.
