I love coming up with fun arts and crafts projects that encourage creativity, going on fun and educational outings like going to the library, the museum, the beach, the zoo, going to events geared towards children, and many more places. I also enjoy coming up with fun activities to do: doing science experiments, baking, exploring the outdoors, going on walks, and reading

Hi! I’m Leah, a senior in high school who truly enjoys working with kids. Most of my experience comes from babysitting my younger cousins, and those moments are what made me realize how natural it feels for me to step into a caregiving role. I love being the person who can bring excitement, comfort, and fun into a child’s day, whether that means playing games or helping with homework. I currently work as a dining aid in a nursing home. The job has taught me so much about patience and responsibility. Even though I’m still building my babysitting experience, I’m eager to learn more about childcare and what it takes to support families in their day-to-day routines. I’m patient, responsible, and always willing to lend a hand. I’m also CPR certified! My goal is to make things easier for parents while creating a positive, enjoyable environment for their children. I’m excited to grow as a sitter and to be someone families can rely on, knowing their children are in good hands!
