Leslie Boissiere is a freelance writer and marketing consultant with 15 years of diverse business experience. A working mom with three young children, she has worked for companies large and small — from Procter and Gamble to Fannie Mae to a company or two that she founded. Boissiere admits trying all options in search of the ever-illusive "balance" — staying home with the kids, kids in daycare, an array of nannies. She blogs regularly on the humor and irony of raising children as a working mom at Modern Age Mom. A DC resident for nearly 15 years, Boissiere found the District, with its wealth of resources, communities and activities, to be a wonderful city in which to raise children.
