A little bit about me

Hey there! My name is Layla Wilson and I am currently looking for a family in need of some extra help. I adore children and have been great assistance to families in the past. Being 11 years older than my youngest sister, overtime I have really learned the importance of what we allow to influence/ be present in our little ones minds as they navigate growing up. There is no bigger reward than getting to be a positive and healthy part of a child's upbringing, and being able to teach them as they grow.
I spend the most of my time in the gym or library, learning as much as I can about the physical and mental wellbeing. I am looking for a family that I can help out in any way, and hopefully create connections that will last a lifetime! I'm looking forward to the opportunity of nourishing, teaching, and introducing new activities that will positively impact your little ones!

A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Lauren. I've been working with children full-time since April 2022, as a preschool teacher and nanny. I also teach music lessons to both children and adults one day a week! Seeing a child's perspective of the world never gets old, and making sure kids are safe/happy is a fulfilling job for me. That being said, I'm looking to work with parents who are fully invested in their kids' wellbeing and care about how they are growing as people. My approach to working with children values empathy, individuality, and fostering independence. I also think it's important to get kids connected with nature and their own emotions, and I believe children are capable of being and doing much more than most realize! I'd love to find a home environment that is comfortable, fun loving, mindful, and most importantly that has open communication. I'm also an artist, so if any of your children are creatively inclined, I would be able to help them in developing their skills!! :)
