About Leah

Experience: 5 yrs

I have five years of experience and a graduate degree in social work and I'm eager to provide nurturing care for your children. My background in social work has equipped me with extensive experience supporting both neurotypical and neurodivergent children. I am passionate about creating a safe and fun environment. I am patient, calm, friendly, and approachable. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, puzzles, and educational games. I can provide regular updates via text or phone call, following your preferred communication method. I am comfortable caring for up to two children, ages 0-12+. I'm happy to help with cooking, light housekeeping, swimming supervision, and happy to discuss anything else your family may need. Please reach out with any question and I can't wait to meet your child!

Leah was wonderful and patient with my 6 month old daughter. She arrived a couple minutes early and was ready to start right on time. I will be hiring her again!
