About Leah

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.
