About Leah

Experience: 3 yrs

I am a nurturing and dependable childcare professional with over 33 years of experience caring for and teaching children, from infants and toddlers through school age. I owned and operated a preschool for more than 17 years, providing hands-on care in a safe, loving, structured environment where children could learn, explore, and thrive. I also have decades of experience in children's ministry, teaching through age-appropriate lessons, music, creative play, activities, and encouragement. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, safety, and recognizing each child's individual needs and personality. I enjoy reading with children, educational and sensory activities, music, outdoor play, and supporting developmental milestones. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, loved, heard, encouraged, and valued. I am Florida First Aid and CPR certified and would love to partner with a family seeking an experienced, attentive, dependable, and loving caregiver.

Leah was my son’s teacher and caregiver at her at home preschool. She was incredible at caring and loving on him. She kept her school beautifully cleaned and organized and always had exciting activities to do with the kids. My son loved attending her program so much he always wanted to be the first one there. She was very accommodating of any requests or feedback I had and was very thorough with sharing how my son was doing. I always felt that he was safe and well cared for in her care. She taught my son so much from good manners, to social skills, to basic school skills appropriate to his age. Any family would be so blessed to have her help and her expertise! Her wisdom from years of caring for children really shows in how she cares and teaches children in her care.
