My name is Leah, and moved to Philadelphia in May 2013 with my husband. Originally from Ohio, I received my undergraduate degree from Ohio State in athletic training, and my Masters degree in Orthotics and Prosthetics from the University of Pittsburgh. I have always had a passion for the health care profession, and am able to utilize both my athletic training and graduate experiences to provide rehabilitative care and devices to those in need. Also, given my athletic training background, I am very comfortable with emergent situations, as well as first aid and CPR response. I am the oldest of 4, and grew up with dozens of cousins to play with and care for. I have been babysitting since I was 10 years old, and have always been drawn to children, especially infants! I am also very good with teens and young adults, and have no problems coming up with Read more creative or fun things to do. I am prompt, outgoing, and very caring, and simply love to spend time with children! Do not hesitate to ask for references or resume, if necessary!
