My name is Leigh Ann, and I miss working with kids. So, I am looking to return to being a career nanny and development specialist. I am a Canadian Citizen and currently live in the Fairview/South Granville area. I pride myself on being a stable, long-term helper for the families I work with—I have a proven track record of staying with families for up to 7 years, supporting them from the newborn stage through school-age development. I am a mature, discrete, and proactive individual who enjoys becoming a "seamless" extension of a busy household. My Experience & Qualifications I specialize in Executive Household Management, toddler language development and Infant Care. My background includes: - 7 years of service with Nannies on call between 2008-2014 - Infant Expertise: Extensive experience with newborns, including establishing sleep rhythms, weaning, and developmental milestone tracking. - Administrative Support: Beyond childcare, I have managed household logistics, vendor coordination (contractors, cleaners), and family relocations. - Educational Focus: I implement the SPICE philosophy (Social, Physical, Intellectual, Creative, Emotional) into daily play and routines. Interests & Hobbies: When I’m not caring for children, I stay active and engaged with my community. My hobbies often translate into my work, as I love: Outdoor Adventures: I am walking and hiking, believing in the importance of daily outdoor exploration for children, rain or shine. Creative Arts & Literacy: I enjoy set-up creative "stations" for crafts and am a passionate reader—I love using storytelling to spark a child’s imagination. Nutritional Cooking: I enjoy preparing healthy, whole-food meals and snacks for the children in my care. Reliability: Class 5 Driver’s License with a good abstract and experience with city driving/school runs. Professionalism: I am accustomed to working in high-pressure environments and maintaining total discretion for high-profile parents. Flexible & Adaptable: Whether navigating a house rebuild or managing a complex travel schedule, I remain organized and calm.

My approach to infant care is rooted in the SPICE development philosophy, ensuring that even the youngest infants receive tailored stimulation to support their Social, Physical, Intellectual, Creative, and Emotional milestones. From soothing newborns and establishing healthy sleep rhythms to navigating the transition to solid foods, I provide a calm, proactive presence in the home. I am well-versed in the high-pressure dynamics of professional households, having supported families through international relocations and complex scheduling. I prioritize safety above all else, and just updated my Pediatric First Aid/CPR-C certifications as of January 2026 and have a very good driving record. My goal is to be a 'seamless' extension of the parents, upholding their specific child-rearing values — whether Waldorf-inspired or Montessori-focused—while providing the nurturing, expert care every infant, toddler to school aged kid(s) needs to thrive.
