A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Leah! I graduated from SUNY Cortland in Exercise Science and recently graduated with my Masters in Occupational Therapy.

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Mia, and I have over five years of experience working with children in various settings. I’ve worked at an elementary school’s aftercare program for three years, where I helped with homework, managed activities, and maintained a positive classroom environment. I’ve also been a babysitter, taking on responsibilities like driving kids to activities, preparing meals, and handling light housekeeping.
In high school, I gained specialized experience working in the special needs program, supporting both elementary-aged children and adults up to 22 years old. I’m certified in AED, CPR, and babysitting through the Red Cross, so safety is always a top priority. I love creating engaging activities for kids and building strong relationships with the families I work with. I’m excited about the opportunity to bring my skills, experience, and enthusiasm to your family
