I also helped with the programming of group activities and filled in as a group counsellor for mainstream groups when needed.

Leigha has been babysitting for us for nearly a year and has been lovely. Leigha is very patient and has been great with our 3 (now 4) year old. Very trustworthy and a good communicator.
