Hi! My name is Leah, and I have over 4 years of childcare experience, including 2. 5 years managing my own at-home daycare. I specialize in caring for infants and toddlers and truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel safe in a nurturing environment. I also have experience working with children with special needs and understand the importance of patience, structure, and individualized care. I am experienced with feeding, diapering, nap schedules, developmental play, and creating engaging age-appropriate activities that support emotional, cognitive, and physical development. Families describe me as dependable, attentive, compassionate, and easy to communicate with. Safety is always my top priority, and I maintain a clean, organized, and positive environment for every child in my care. I am CPR and First Aid certified, with renewal currently pending.
I hired Leah for Summer 2026 to help fill in the gaps for our kids, ages 6 and 9, who had summer day camps but still needed some morning and afternoon coverage. Her responsibilities included spending anywhere from 2 to 6 hours every weekday with one or both boys, and occasional transport to/from camps, the pool, and other Baton Rouge attractions like the zoo and the children's museum. Leah was invariably prompt and courteous. She did what she said she would do and showed up when she said she would. On rare occasions where she could not keep a committed date, she provided ample advance notice so I could make other arrangements. I work from home so I was able to see Leah in action daily, and she was always looking to keep the boys active and occupied. I never once saw her idly flipping through her phone while they went unsupervised - she was always on task. Additionally, even though she was more accustomed to working with infants and toddlers with a different set of needs, she adjusted quickly to the demands of older active children and always approached my boys with kindness, patience, and a playful spirit. I strongly recommend reaching out to Leah to see if she's a good fit for your family!
