Meet Leona

• Comfortable with pets

Hi there! My name is Leona, I am 25 years old and I have about 3/4 years of childcare experience with ages 5-11. I moved to the Portland area about a year ago from Boston and I am loving it so far - My favorite things to do are hiking, vintage collecting and spending time with my 3 cats! My experience ranges between 1:1 babysitting and summer camp settings - I was a consistent weekly sitter for a few families in Boston and it’s great to get to know the kiddos over time and see them grow. My skills surround my appreciation for the kids following their interests - I adore arts and crafts and would love to offer some activities around creating. I also generally opt for low screen time in my own life and would gravitate to offering more time playing outside, coloring, board games, crafts, reading hour, Read more easy baking activities etc. - I utilize active listening and gentle care techniques, I am appreciative of all different learning styles and interests. I strive to always show up as my best self and encourage kids to do the same - I believe kindness and patience is most important.

Trust & safety
