Hi! My name is Leyla and I’m new to Sittercity, but have plenty of experience in babysitting and a total of 6 years of Babysitting and Nannying - I’m currently looking for a long term family to work with and if you think I’d be a good fit please feel free to message or call and feel free to ask for a reference or resume! I’m a professional caregiver who is CPR and First Aid certified and I study Psychology at Rutgers University. My studies focus on child development, which connects deeply to my passion for childcare, as the early years are the most important for a child’s emotional, cognitive, and social growth and help shape who they become later in life which is why I am very observant and focused for the children and babies I work with. Overall I am a warm, loving, and person and find joy Read more being with babies and children. Being around them brings me a lot of joy, and I love helping create a safe, nurturing, and happy environment for them to grow in. For some more background - I worked in a daycare for one summer when I was 15 and I’ve cared for all ages, and multiples, infants, preteens. Feel free to ask for a reference or resume if you’re interested in proceeding with me! I grew up in a large family with many cousins and siblings that taught me the value of communication, nurturing skills, and a family-first approach to caregiving at a young age. I’ve also tutored for three years, worked at a summer daycare, and served as a certified lifeguard, strengthening my ability to support learning, respond quickly in emergencies, and maintain a safe environment. Overall, I am a warm and compassionate person who truly enjoys spending time with babies and children. Being around them brings me a lot of joy, and I love helping create a safe, nurturing, and happy environment for them to grow in. I love creating fun, structured routines and helping children feel confident, happy, and cared for! I look forward to connecting with your family and providing a positive, caring experience for your little ones! 🤍
