Booked by 1 family in Gatesville, NC
Hi! I’m Aleah. I have 4 years of childcare experience, including babysitting for military families at Schofield Barracks in Wahiawa, Hawaii, and at Sasebo Naval Base in Japan. I’m also a big sister to four younger sisters, so caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I love animals, marine life, learning new things, and trying new experiences. I’m creative, patient, and enjoy keeping kids engaged through games, crafts, outdoor activities, and other fun adventures. I am passionate about helping children learn, grow, and thrive while providing a safe, positive, and supportive environment.
