Hi! My name is Lyla, and I’m a college student at CSULB studying psychology with the goal of becoming a children’s psychologist. I was born and raised in Encinitas and love working with children and families in my community.
I have been babysitting on and off for about 5 years and also work as a swim instructor, where I supervise children and teach water safety. This experience has helped me become patient, responsible, and attentive to children’s needs and safety.
I am comfortable helping with light cooking, cleaning, homework, and keeping kids engaged with fun and safe activities. I am also passionate about working with children and animals, and I truly enjoy creating a safe and positive environment for kids.
I would love the opportunity to help your family — please feel free to reach out with any questions!

A little bit about me

I'm Brazilian, fluent in Portuguese, 19 years old, and I'm spending time in the United States to accompany my aunt during treatment. I love children, and although I don't have paid experience, I'm their older sister and cousin. I've always helped care for the younger children at home, whether with daytime care or bedtime care when their parents aren't around. I'm patient and attentive, and I value harmony and happiness for everyone. I don't speak English, but I took a summer course at Miracosta College and am trying to learn. My goal is to make everyone's lives easier and contribute as much as I can.
