A little bit about me

Hey there! I'm Leilani, a spirited 22-year-old from the vibrant city of Chicago, IL. As a senior at Calumet College of St. Joseph, I'm eagerly counting down to my graduation in May 2025. Basketball has been my passion since I first dribbled a ball at the age of six—it has shaped so much of who I am today.

Beyond the court, I thrive as a deejay, where I get to share my love for music and create connections with others. But what truly lights me up is working with children. My goal is to cultivate a nurturing space where every child feels safe, valued, and empowered. I believe teaching self-love and empathy is essential for helping them blossom into kind-hearted individuals.

About two years ago, I took a leap into the world of childcare by joining a year-round STEAM camp. This experience not only solidified my commitment to this career path but also provided me with invaluable insights that I carry with me as I pursue my future in this fulfilling field.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I am actively involved in a dynamic, year-round STEAM-based camp that caters to children aged 4 to 15. In this enriching environment, I have the opportunity to inspire young minds while fostering creativity and critical thinking through engaging activities in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics. Additionally, I have taken on the role of coach for my former AAU basketball team, where I dedicated my time to imparting essential skills and valuable experience to the players, helping them grow both on and off the court.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

There's nothing quite like the joy of dance parties and playful activities, especially when it involves playing basketball with kids! I love turning our time together into a fun-filled learning experience. We create catchy songs that make remembering things a blast, explore the art of hairstyling, dive into the world of cooking, and have great conversations that spark their imagination. Each moment is an opportunity for laughter and creativity!

The most important part about being a nanny...

Making a positive impact on the lives of children is something that holds deep meaning for me. I believe that it truly takes a village to raise a child, and I sincerely hope that the support and love I have shared with them leaves a lasting impression. I want every child to carry with them the hope and strength they need to thrive, now and in the future.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Each day when I arrive at work, I'm greeted with the joyful sounds of my kids screaming my name as they rush to embrace me. Their excitement to share the stories of their day or their weekend always warms my heart and makes me feel truly cherished.
