About Leah

Experience: 10 yrs

For the past 20 plus years I have been working with young children (both with special needs and typically developing) and their families in a variety of settings and roles. I have experience as a lead teacher in an infant and toddler classroom, as a developmental specialist and home visitor with an early intervention program, and as a nanny for multiple families. I have always had an interest and passion for working with young children. It brings me much joy and fulfillment to support children in blossoming into their fullest potential. I received my bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Special Education from the University of Maine at Farmington and my master's degree in Birth to Three Development and Intervention from Wheelock College in Boston. I am currently a stay at home mom. My little guy, turned 2 I would love to find a great family to work for part time with K in tow. Whether it's at our home in Newport or at yours.
