"Leah came to our family’s rescue after a bad injury left me bedridden and unable to care for our 4 kids (then ages 2, 4, 6, and 10). With very little instruction, she stepped right in and took over our schedules and routines seamlessly. Leah showed a keen ability to meet each of my children’s individual needs. She loved being active with the kids and was always finding new outings and adventures for them. Although we no longer need a full-time caregiver, Leah continues to babysit for our family often and our kids always look forward to their time with her."
