Hello! My name is Leah and I am 35 years old and I have 23 years experience in child care. I have experience with newborns, toddlers, K-5 and preteens. While babysitting, I am used to and comfortable with cooking, bathing, diaper changing, housekeeping, transportation and usually anything else asked of me. I am someone who is well organized. I am also great at multitasking. I like to think of myself as someone who can have fun, but at the same time I am very aware and responsible.
