Hello my name is Leah! I have over 15 years experience, ranging from care of newborns to school-aged children. I've also raised two beautiful & successful children of my own. I have worked as a private nanny for 5 different families. In 2022 I cared for a baby girl 6 months through 15 months. In 2023-2024 I cared for a 22 month old through age 3. Most recently I cared for an Infant boy 2-5 months old. I enjoy reading, games, puzzles and being active outdoors. I'm dedicated, trustworthy, nurturing and reliable. Working with children is my true passion and I love watching them learn and grow.

Leah did a wonderful watching our baby boy! He was a colicky infant who grew into a very active baby, and Leah was so patient and understanding with him the whole time. She was very hands on and my boy loved spending time with her. She communicated with us and was reliable and always on time. We appreciate her help so much!

Leah watched our baby, Betty, from when she was 6 - 15 months old and she was wonderful! Great childcare is hard to come by so we felt very lucky to find Leah. She was always on time, reliable, and most important, my daughter loved her! Betty was not always the easiest baby, especially when it came to naps, but Leah was very patient and caring with her. I would highly recommend her to take care of your children!
