About Kristy Leigh
Experience: 10 yrs
Hello! My name is Kristy and I have over 20 years of experience working with and caring for children. I am a certified teacher by the state of NJ to teach kindergarten through fifth grade. I have home schooled and have 3 years experience teaching kindergarten in a private school. In addition to that, I was a nanny for a family for 3 years after teaching, providing care to three little girls who where 2 (twins) and 5 years old and have continued to nanny since then for multiple families after falling in love with the profession. I also have experience tutoring and I am comfortable home schooling, tutoring, and helping with daily homework for the children that I nanny. I am a reliable, dependent, nurturing, flexible, dedicated, and caring individual who has a passion for loving and having fun with children of all ages! I'm looking forward to hearing from you to discuss your needs for your children! I'm sure I'd be the perfect fit! Thank you!

Kristy was our Nanny for 3 years of my three daughters who are all in school full time now. She was very punctual, always arrived 15 minutes earlier in case we needed a hand before we left for work. She was very flexible and worked around our hours. If I had to stay late at the office one day she wouldn't mind. She took the girls out to the parks, playgrounds, and did many hands on activities with them. I would always have some wonderful hand crafted gift from them. She is very sweet , and the girls love her like an Aunt. I've known Kristy for about 20 years, and I have complete trust that she can care for anyone's kids, and treat them like they are her own. She is responsible and reliable and my children have all positive memories with her.
