A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Leah, and I have loved looking after little kids since I was old enough to walk. I've been a camp counselor, babysitter, and full-time nanny over the last eight years. I have worked with all different ages and numbers of kids. I view everything as an adventure! I love animals, time outdoors, and exploring the world right alongside the kids, whether that's on the playground, attempting experiments in the kitchen, or trying to build an especially tricky Lego set. I'm not crazy about screen time (although sometimes nothing beats a rainy day Disney movie), and I value kindness and honesty above all.
