Hello families, I am Layla! I am 20 years old and I am the oldest of three. I have been a caregiver since I could remember and have always created a nurturing atmosphere for those around me. I am a great help around the house and enjoy being able to support learning and conversation. I took courses in high school (peer tutoring in kindergarten classes) to build up skills such as: patients, problem-solving, dealing with highly emotional situations and to always have a fun game in your back pocket! I enjoy the outdoors, my number one way to get out of my head. Hiking and camping is a huge passion of mine. Another career path I tried out was cooking, absolutely love it but definitely prefer it as a hobby I can share with the people around me. I am always eager to learn new foods and new ways to prepare them. I am also a creative person, I enjoy photography, painting, drawing, crocheting and a good book! I think I would be be a good fit for your home because I am a clean and respectful individual. I am easy going and shy at first but will talk your ear off once I get to know you. I know this is a big change to take in a whole new person into your home and I understand communication is key and being able to create space for any questions or to set boundaries. I am a very present person, I love to be in the moment. So I can be able to listen and learn all that there is to learn. I want to be able to give all my love and energy into new relationships that I can have for years to come. I have a big appreciation for families that host, it’s absolutely amazing and look forward to giving a loving helping hand around your home!

Moved to Victoria two years ago from SaltSpring island. Currently working my morning with family with one kiddo she is 2years old. On SaltSpring Island I was working with two families. One family I worked for with 2 year old boy and new born (she is now 1). I worked for them four days a week for a year. Love them to death and on good terms will be longtime friends. Worked for another family on Fridays with a 2 year old and 5 year old boys for a year and they are another family that I will continue to keep in touch with years to come!!
