I’m the mother of 4 beautiful, super sweet kiddos (age 2, 4, 6 and soon to be 10) and a childcare provider with over 15 years experience. I have been offering license not required care out of my home for many years now (and have 6 years of full-time, live-out nanny experience). I take on 1-2 children or a sibling group at a time. I strive to provide a safe, fun, engaging and nurturing space for all the children under my care. I have standard and infant first aid/CPR, a clean driver’s abstract, and many references upon request. I currently live in Powell River, but I’m planning to move to the Comox Valley within the next few months. Once I’m settled, I’m open to caring for children part time or full time. My children are friendly, gentle, sweet, super fun kiddos, and they’re wonderful with babies, toddlers and really, kids of any age. During the summer months all four will be under my care, but come September, my three girls will be in school full time and I’ll just have my son under my care for most of the day. My days with the children consist of lots of imaginative play, reading, arts and crafts, plenty of time outside, and sometimes we head over to Strong Start to play. Living a healthy, active, nature-rich lifestyle is important to me. Everyone is happier and the days run smoother when I incorporate fun adventures outside, so this means we regularly go for walks, head over to parks, the beach, etc. I have a minivan, extra car seats and boosters, and sometimes drive the children home at the end of the day if the parents request it. I’m pretty easy going and flexible, and open to accommodating what works best for the parents I work for. Feel free to send me a PM if you’d like connect! Thank you, Leija (pronounced “Lay-ah”) Childcare has always been a part of my life. I am the oldest of 4 girls, so I was my mother's helper growing up. I have years upon years of babysitting experience, as well as several years of full-time live-out nanny experience. I have offered LNR childcare out of my home for the last few years. I am also a full-time mother of 4 children. I graduated high school in 2003, and went on to study post-secondary courses in holistic nutrition and natural healing.

I was born in the vibrant and culturally rich country of Nigeria, located in West Africa. From there, my journey brought me to the heart of Mexico, where I was culturally enriched and spent most of my youth growing up. This rich blend of two distinct cultures shaped the person I am today. At the youthful age of 21, I am currently an eager student at North Island College, consistently aiming to excel acadically and personally. My course of study is an Associate Degree in Arts that has allowed me to immerse myself in a wide variety of disciplines such as literature, humanities, social and natural sciences. In my free time, I have a passion for cooking; it's something that brings me tremendous joy. The act of transforming ordinary ingredients into a delicious dish is something magical to me. Whether it is native Nigerian dishes, Mexican cuisine or attempting something entirely different – I love it all. But if there is something that really captures my heart, it's bringing smiles to the faces of children. There's a peculiar form of satisfaction that I derive from it whether it is through volunteering at a local community center or just spending time with family and friends. Seeing the innocent pleasure and happiness radiating from their faces, without a doubt, is the most rewarding experience one can have. My experiences, I started babysitting when I was 9, my Parent work full time, which leaves me with the responsibility of looking after of 4 siblings.i also look after my neighbours kid once in a while but in general I love kid, I love seeing them happy, cooking for them, helping if they are in need of any thing.

My greatest joy was raising my own two boys who have recently left the nest and are now in college. While raising my sons, our door was always open to many other children who needed a safe and loving environment, a mother or father figure, input from an aunt or uncle, or even just a good meal. I enjoy nature, an active lifestyle, reading, music, eating healthy, other cultures and languages, travel, learning, hospitality, education, art, people, and homemaking.
