Meet Lela

Hello families, my name is Lela and I am a graduate of DePaul University. I studied African and Black Diaspora Studies and Arabic Language. I work as an usher at The Anthem DC and have over 7 years of childcare experience. During the 2021-22 school year I worked at Legends Charter School as a Kindergarten Teacher’s Assistant. Although I love being an educator, the classroom wasn’t the right setting for me and as I make this shift I’m hoping to find a family who I can support. As I transition out of the classroom I'm looking to help families in their more intimate moments. Whether you need a regular sitter to help with school pick up/drop off, rides to activities, homework help or someone for the occasional outing I’m here to help! I have experience watching children as young as 8 months to 12 years old. My main priorities when Read more working with children are to make them feel safe, be open to their needs, and have a great time. I hope to be that for your family. I'm an adventurous person who loves to read, listen to music, color, and enjoy life.
