Leah M.

Hello! I’m a recent Masters of Public Health graduate from Columbia University with a passion for childcare. Originally from Canada, I have over 8 years of valuable experience in various childcare roles, making me a well-rounded and capable caregiver. Throughout my journey, I’ve worked as a babysitter, nanny, overnight camp counselor, swim instructor, and sailing coach, providing me with extensive exposure to children of all ages. This diverse background has equipped me with the skills to engage and connect with kids on a personal level, fostering a safe and enjoyable environment for them to learn and grow. What sets me apart is my strong commitment to promoting the well-being and development of children. With my academic background in public health, I possess a deep understanding of the physical, emotional, and cognitive aspects of child development. I strive to incorporate this knowledge into my caregiving approach, ensuring that every child in my care receives the attention, guidance, and support they need to thrive. Being a sitter brings me immense joy because I genuinely love working with children. Their curiosity, energy, and unique personalities continually inspire me. Building meaningful connections with them and witnessing their progress and happiness is incredibly rewarding. When you entrust your little ones to me, you can rest assured that they will be in caring and capable hands. I prioritize safety, create engaging activities, and encourage open communication with both children and parents. I am dedicated to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment that promotes learning, exploration, and fun. Thank you for considering me as a potential caregiver for your family. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and your wonderful children!
