A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Leah, and I'm 18 years old. I'm looking for babysitting opportunities because I genuinely love working with kids.

I've been helping around my house since I was 12 – cooking, cleaning, and taking care of my younger brother – so I have plenty of hands-on experience with childcare. I've also babysat other children and pre-teens in my neighborhood.

I love playing board games and watching Disney movies, so I'll do my best to keep your child entertained! I also have tutoring experience, so if your child needs help with homework, I'd be happy to help out.

I'm responsible, reliable, and always prioritize keeping kids safe and happy. Please feel free to reach out if you'd like to chat – I'd love to meet you and your family!
