Hi, I am Lila! I offer babysitting, nannying, tutoring, and pet care.
I had my first babysitting gig in 6th grade, which is how I found out I love all the components working with kids has to offer! I have worked with infants (2 months) to pre-teens(12 years), and am equipped for the responsibilities each age asks of me. Many of the families I have worked with have had multiple kids (and pets). I am comfortable and experienced with watching multiple infants at once; and with watching infants and older children, that require different types of attention. I grew up with three dogs and a cat, so taking care of animals in addition is welcomed.
I love organizing all the details of the day into to-do lists to ensure every task is completed. The kids' happiness and well-being are the main priorities. Taking the kids outside (after lots of sunscreen is applied!), finding creative/enriching ways to spend our time together, and figuring out the individual needs of each child in my care is my approach to having fun and fostering development (of course, if other activities are outlined for me, I will make sure to do those). I grew up with a love for cooking, so making snacks and meals is both fun and easy.
I am a sophomore in college, working towards two bachelor's degrees. I have highly developed writing, reading and comprehension, and social studies skills -- which positions me to help tutor kids, assist with homework, and work on personal reading/writing goals. I graduated high school with honors, so I have proficient math and science abilities. I am not bilingual, but I took Spanish all of high school, and continue to study the language in college, so I am available to help with the learning of lower-level Spanish. I have a driver's license and a car, so I can reliably get to work on time -- and take kids on adventures, to swim lessons, etc.
If you have any questions, please reach out and ask, I'd love to answer them.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Lila to any family in need of a wonderful nanny or babsitter! Lila was a part-time nanny for my two young daughters, and her dedication and caring nature quickly made her a part of our family.
Lila's attentiveness and patience are unparalleled. She has a remarkable ability to understand and respond to the needs of young children, creating a safe and nurturing environment for them. My daughters always felt heard and cared for, and her patience helped them through challenging moments with ease.
One of the most memorable contributions Lila made was teaching my 3-year-old daughter how to ride a bike.. facilitated by Lila's gentle encouragement and persistent support. :-)
Lila has excellent organizational skills and is reliable. She managed daily routines seamlessly, from meal times to nap schedules, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Her proactive attitude and willingness to go above and beyond were truly appreciated, as she often took the initiative to plan fun and educational activities.”
