About Layla

Hi! I’m Layla, a graduate student at the University at Buffalo with several years of hands on childcare experience, from caring for infants and toddlers to managing school mornings, homework, meals, activities, bath time, and bedtime for older children. I’ve cared for multiple children at once, worked with children with autism and different communication and sensory needs, and provided both occasional babysitting and consistent care for families. I’m the kind of sitter who actually engages with kids. I love crafts, baking, reading, outdoor play, music, imaginative games, and finding activities based on what each child genuinely enjoys. I also put a lot of thought into routines and transitions. Whether we’re getting ready for school or winding down for bed, I want kids to feel encouraged, secure, and excited to spend time with me. I also have extensive experience cooking and meal prepping for families. I’ve prepared breakfasts, packed lunches, dinners, snacks, homemade juices, and freezer friendly meals for busy parents. I hold a B.S. in Health Sciences with a background in nutrition, so I’m especially good at making balanced meals that are nutritious without forgetting that kids actually have to want to eat them! I’m CPR and First Aid certified, comfortable with pets, and happy to help with light housekeeping, homework, transportation routines, and meal preparation. I’m dependable, attentive, playful, and very comfortable adapting to the routines and expectations already established in your home. I’d love the opportunity to become someone your children are genuinely excited to see and someone you feel completely comfortable leaving them with. 😊
