Leah K.

Hi! My name is Leah. I am an assistant Special Education teacher at a Chicago high school during the year, and I am a nanny during the summer. I was 11 when I first started babysitting, and I have never stopped! I babysat all through high school and college (where I majored in Psychology and Early Childhood Education), and was a nanny for a few different families over the course of the past 7 years. I have also worked as a therapeutic mentor at a counseling center, where I was trained in clinical therapeutic practices.

I have always loved being with children, and engaging them in developmentally appropriate activities and conversations. I am experienced and comfortable with ALL ages (0+). I am reliable, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and communicative. I believe in helping children find ways to express themselves and understand their emotions.

I charge $25-$30 per hour, given my credentials and years of experience. I am available on nights and weekends, given my academic schedule at a high school.
