About Jaleah

Experience: 8 yrs

With a smile, respect, compassion, integrity and a whole heart. I provide daily educational care for children, ages infants and up. As a student in early childhood education, I excel in creating fun and inspiring learning experiences for families in my care! I love working with parents and their children to enhance the development of the child's physical, cognitive, literary and creative skills. I absolutely enjoy interactive reading & with hand puppets. Arts & crafts projects are my specialties. I have been working in childcare professionally since the age of 14 where I held a summer position as a class aide. I learned early on my gift of caring for children. I use these gifts of patience, understanding and what seems to be a natural connection to children to provide them with a nurturing and encouraging environment I am great with keeping schedules, driving to and from activities and even prep meals. I also help with HW and class projects! Plus I'm comfortable with pets.

Leah has provided excellent care for our little ones. She’s sweet, engaging and lots of fun. She’s also very organized and helped a ton with household tasks. We were sad to lose her due to our family moving. Highly recommend!
