A little bit about me
I’m a nurturing and experienced nanny with over 5 years of professional childcare experience, including a background as a preschool teacher. I’ve cared for children from infancy through school age, supporting key milestones such as potty training, early speech, social development, and school readiness. I bring structure, creativity, and warmth to each day—planning engaging, age-appropriate activities and building strong, trusting bonds with both children and parents. I also have experience traveling with families and assisting school-age children with after-school routines and homework. Whether helping with first steps or supporting growing independence, I love creating safe, joyful environments where kids can thrive.

"Jayla has such a sweet person and my kid loved her!! The reason she doesn’t work for us anymore is because we moved. She built a strong connection with my son and he always looked forward to seeing her when she came. She communicates well, she a hard worker, she’s caring. She was a part time preschool teacher and also was taking care of my son. She came with us when we traveled and even on her days off, if I needed her she came. So she’s very dependable. She’s a great person. Any family who picks her will be lucky to have her!!"

"Thando was our daughter's nanny from when our baby was 4 months to 16 months old. My husband and I are first-time parents and our families live far away, but Thando made our lives so much easier with her extensive background and knowledge in infant and toddler-care. Thando took care of all of our baby's needs, did all the daily baby-related chores, helped our daughter thrive, and kept our minds at ease as we returned to work--we couldn't have asked for a better experience. What's more is she genuinely loves babies and enjoys spending time with them, and her sense of humor was always a welcome pick-me up for 2 tired parents! Happy to chat in more detail with prospective employers over the phone."

A little bit about me
I am a responsible, patient, and loving childcare provider with over two years of experience as an au pair in the United States. As the eldest of seven siblings, I began caring for two of my younger brothers at the age of 14 while my mother worked full-time. My natural maturity and strong sense of responsibility allowed me to manage their daily needs with confidence. I also helped care for my baby cousin, whom I love like a niece, since she was an infant. These early experiences shaped my passion for childcare and taught me how to nurture, guide, and support children with love and structure. I specialize in creating safe, stimulating, and emotionally supportive environments where children can grow happily.
