A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Layla, and I’m a college student studying psychology. I’m a responsible, patient, and caring person who genuinely enjoys being around kids. I’m comfortable keeping children entertained, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, and making sure they’re safe and comfortable while their parents are away.

I’m also fluent in English and Swahili, can speak Mandarin, and understand Arabic, so I’m comfortable around families from many different backgrounds. I’m dependable, easy to communicate with, and I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust with their children. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and help make things a little easier for you!

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny to me is making sure the child feels safe and comfortable. I want parents to feel like they can trust me with their child, but I also want the child to feel like they can trust me too. I think being patient, paying attention, and creating an environment where they can be themselves and have fun while still being safe is really important.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny moments was with a little girl I was watching who was super shy with me at first. She barely wanted to talk, so I didn’t force it and just started doing little activities with her. We ended up making bracelets, doing each other’s hair, and having a little dance party in the living room. By the end of the night she was following me everywhere and asking me a million questions. When her mom came home, she asked if I could come back again the next day. It was so cute because she went from barely talking to me to not wanting me to leave.
