Hi! I’m Laila, a college student at Xavier University of Louisiana, but I'm originally from California. I love working with children and their energy always brightens my day. Whether we’re doing arts and crafts, playing outside, baking cookies, or having an impromptu dance party in the living room. I create a space where kids feel safe, heard, and excited to learn. I am the older sister in my family, so I’ve had plenty of practice keeping kids entertained and happy. Your children’s safety and comfort are my top priority.

Hi! My name is Jordan, and I’m currently a sophomore at Tulane University studying psychology and neuroscience. I grew up in Great Falls, Virginia, as the youngest of four girls, so I’ve always been surrounded by a busy family and learned pretty early how to be patient, responsible, and flexible.Throughout high school, I babysat for families in Great Falls and throughout the greater Washington, D.C. area. I’ve always enjoyed spending time with kids and getting to know their individual personalities. I’m comfortable keeping kids entertained, helping with homework, preparing meals and snacks, getting them ready for bed, and keeping up with their normal routines. I also understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust and feel completely comfortable leaving their children with.Outside of school, I love staying active and teach yoga in my free time. I’m very outgoing, caring, dependable, and I love finding fun ways to keep kids engaged, whether that means being outside, doing crafts, playing games, or just hanging out with them.I would love to find families that I can build a relationship with and be someone both the kids and parents feel comfortable having around!
