About Jaleah

Experience: 8 yrs

Hi! I'm Jaleah, an experienced childcare professional with a genuine love for helping children learn, grow, and feel safe and supported. I have several years of experience as a lead preschool teacher, along with nearly a decade of private childcare experience. I've cared for children from infancy through the preschool and early school-age years. I hold a bachelor's degree in Sociology and have also studied Early Childhood Education. I enjoy creating a balance of fun, learning, and structure through reading, arts and crafts, imaginative play, outdoor activities, and age-appropriate learning experiences. I'm patient, compassionate, reliable, and understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can truly trust with their children. I'm also happy to assist with children's meals, laundry, tidying their spaces, and maintaining daily routines. I look forward to getting to know your family!

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!
