About Leah
Experience: 18 yrs
Hello! My name is Leah. I am an elementary school teacher of 9+ years currently transitioning to my next career! During my nine years, I taught 2nd, 4th, and 5th grade and was also an English Language Teacher for PreK, K, 2nd, and 5th grade multilingual learners. I have been caring for children since what feels like forever! My first babysitting job was when I was in middle school and I have continued since then, including through college, and well into my adult life. Lately I have been enjoying spending time with the littlest ones (babies and toddlers) because it is a great change of pace from working with elementary kiddos. I also love animals and am very comfortable caring for other peoples' pets. In addition to babysitting, have done a lot of petsitting as well. I love spending time with children and am always up for playing games, reading, doing arts and crafts, and being outdoors. I think working with children is the most rewarding of jobs.

Leah is a thoughtful, kind, and all around amazing caregiver. Kids love her, and it is clear it’s mutual. She regularly drove our children, cooked for them, and always kept them entertained and safe. Also very good with our (somewhat annoying) dog. Highly reliable, gem of a human. Can’t recommend her enough.
