Currently, I am pursuing a B.S. in Early Childhood and Interdisciplinary Studies at Liberty, with an anticipated graduation in Spring 2026. I have a deep passion for working with children and am fascinated by their growth and development during the critical early years. My experiences in babysitting, nannying, and licensed childcare facilities have fueled my enthusiasm for nurturing young minds. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your little ones! Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or are interested in my services.

My name is Laylani, and I love working with children. Growing up, I always took care of my younger sister, bathing her, helping with her homework, and more. I also have experience from helping out at two different daycares—one was home-based and family-owned, and the other was where a family member worked, where I assisted with infants and toddlers aged 2-3 years. I enjoy working with kids because it's incredibly rewarding to see them learn and grow. Their energy and curiosity are infectious, making my job fascinating and exciting. Plus, the joy and laughter children bring can brighten anyone's day. What sets me apart as a babysitter is my reliability, creativity, and genuine love for working with children. Engaging kids in fun and educational activities while ensuring their safety is my top priority. Additionally, I have great communication skills.
