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!!"

More About Me

I was a pre school teacher and I am CDA certified.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I truly enjoy planning fun, meaningful activities that support children’s growth while keeping them engaged and happy. I love doing creative projects like arts and crafts, painting, and sensory play, as well as active games like dance parties, outdoor adventures, and playground time. Story time, music, and pretend play are some of my favorite ways to encourage imagination and language development.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is building a safe, trusting, and loving relationship with the children and the family. It’s about being more than just a caregiver—you become a consistent, supportive presence in a child’s life during some of their most important developmental years. Children thrive when they feel secure and seen, and as a nanny, I strive to create an environment where they can grow emotionally, socially, and intellectually. At the same time, it’s just as important to support the parents—to communicate openly, respect their values, and work as a team. Being a nanny means showing up with patience, love, and reliability every day, knowing that the care I give makes a real impact on a child’s life.

My experience with special needs children...

While I don’t have direct experience working with children with special needs, I am absolutely open and willing to learn. I approach every child with patience, compassion, and respect, and I understand that each child has unique strengths and needs. I’m committed to following the guidance of parents, therapists, and educators, and I’m always open to training or feedback to best support the family. My goal is to provide a safe, caring, and inclusive environment where all children feel supported and valued.

The most important part about being a nanny...

With a previous family, I took the kids to the biggest bounce house in the world. There were bubbles and music and so much bouncing. Everyone was so exhausted afterwards. It was too hot to eat outside, so we made a little picnic in the van. I got blankets and even put all the food in a picnic bag. It was so much fun!
