About Leah
Experience: 10 yrs
I'm a warm, grounded, emotionally intelligent caregiver and household support professional who helps children feel safe, confident, and understood while helping homes run more smoothly and peacefully. Families often describe me as calm, proactive, observant, and deeply supportive of the whole family - not just the children. With experience in leadership, hospitality, childcare, and household management, I bring a balance of warmth, structure, and practical problem-solving into the homes I support. My approach combines emotional awareness, clear communication, consistency, and respectful boundaries. I believe big feelings are okay - disrespect is not. I have experience as a long-term nanny, pre-K teacher, and family assistant, and I especially enjoy supporting toddlers through early elementary ages. I also assist with meal prep, errands, organization, laundry, scheduling support, and maintaining a calm household rhythm. Excellent local references available.
Most recent review
Leah took wonderful care of our 15-year-old son, N., for three weeks. As French parents sending our son to the United States, placing him in someone else’s care required a great deal of trust, and Leah fully deserved that trust. She picked N. up and drove him all the way to Columbia. During his stay, she made sure he was well fed, safe, comfortable, and included in family life. She gave him the opportunity to enjoy nature, spend time by the river, and experience a healthy break from screens and social media. The children were always active and never bored. Leah communicated regularly with us, which was very reassuring. She also played a major part in helping N. greatly improve his English during those three weeks. We are extremely grateful for everything she did for our son and would highly recommend her to any family looking for someone caring, trustworthy, responsible, and attentive.
