My name is Leah, and I do not have an special certifications, but I can definitely say that I am so great with kids! Everyone who has ever been around me can tell anyone the same thing. I grew up playing with baby dolls until the age of 14 because to me I saw it as great learning experience for me and then my neighbors came along and I practically lived over there after they brought a beautiful little boy into this world. Then when the little boy turned 2, they got pregnant again and had another little boy. I was only 16 years old and I helped her (the mother, my neighbor) every single day after school while her husband was at work full-time. I would go with her to the grocery store and help her clean & sometimes cook. I would take them outside to play on the Read more swing-set, we would watch movies on rainy days, and playing with toy trucks was their favorite! I would enjoy reading to them as well. I love to teach kids and watch them grow and learn new things! A year later, twin girls came along and so now at that point I was taking care of 4 babies, and I absolutely loved ever single second of it. I know how hard it is to trust someone with their babies and letting someone into their home, but I am definitely one to trust! Can't wait to see what's in store for me :)
