Leda has worked as our nanny for over 3 years. She started with our family when my daughter was 4 months old and took excellent care of her (and my other 2 children.). She plays with them, bathes them, cooks for them and helps me to handle their hectic schedules. My kids love her and she is like a part of our family. Leda has also travelled with us on vacations. Around the house, she has helped to organize the kids clothes, do our laundry and straighten up. We will miss her immensely when she moves to Texas. I would highly recommend her and happy to talk to any prospective employer.
