About Lesley

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

l love people and dogs! My son is grown up and on his own. I don't have a dog at the moment, so I'm looking for dog walking jobs, part-time childcare, or a position as a senior companion or helper. I'm a former Children's Librarian (14 years) and a former Nanny (two infants for 18 months). My Dad had Alzheimer's and I did help care for him until he was placed in a memory care facility. I love reading to children, singing and dancing, and being outside (walking, skiing, gardening, and biking). I will most likely be moving out of state March 31, 2025 but I would love to help you until then.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Lesley as part of our family. From the moment she started, it was clear that she is a great fit for our family. She took care of our newborn for 1.5 years with such tenderness and attention to detail, always making sure to meet their needs with patience and love. At the same time, she was a wonderful influence on our older boys—kind, thoughtful, and always making learning and playtime enjoyable for them. Her reliability was unmatched. We never had to worry when she was in charge, as she always showed up on time and ready to engage with the kids in a way that was both fun and responsible. Her warm and caring nature made her more than just a nanny; she became a trusted part of our family. We are so grateful for all the love and care she has shown our children. It’s rare to find someone who is not only skilled but also genuinely passionate about nurturing and helping kids grow. We can’t recommend Lesley highly enough and will always be thankful for her time with us!
