A little bit about me

Hello! :)
My name is Leah OLeary. I just recently graduated as a biology major from CU Boulder. I love to cook and I have a passion for nutrition and yummy food! I love working with kids and creating fun activities to play! Other than my nannying experience, I have first aid and CPR certification as well as nurse aide training. I also have experience preparing delicious meals for children with some dietary restrictions. My dream is to write a children’s cook book later on in the future :)

I am available throughout this summer part-time, but will be taking nutrition classes as well. I love arts and crafts and anything outdoors! Would love to connect with you and meet the kiddos!
Looking forward to hearing from you!

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m a Charleston native and a recent graduate of Clemson University with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I’ve been babysitting and nannying since I was 15 and have experience caring for children of all ages.

I also have experience working with young children through my church’s nursery and children’s programs, primarily with ages 0–4, as well as experience in Early Intervention supporting children with developmental delays and their families. These experiences have given me a strong understanding of child development and the importance of creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment.

In my free time, I love spending time with my friends and family, especially doing anything outdoors. I’m also a huge animal lover and am happy to care for pets. I look forward to getting to know your family!
