Leila $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is Leila, I'm from Argentina, I'm 29 years old and I'm a kindergarten teacher! I have seven years of experience taking care of kids (five years in Argentina and two years in the United States) mostly infants and toddlers. I consider myself a responsible, patient, respectful and tidy person. Also I have some references from a couple of families and from my church's leader (I was a volunteer every Sunday at my church, I was in babies room, taking care of them while their parents attend the service) As for my childcare skills, it's very important to me that the child feels safe and secure in an organized environment. I also believe in providing a daily routine, as this is crucial for young children. I hope to hear from you soon☺️

“Lagayle was reliable, punctual, and accommodating on a short-notice booking. She was warm and engaging with my baby from the moment she arrived and handled the evening and bedtime routine with care. She was pleasant, kind, and attentive throughout the stay. I would definitely book with her again!”
