About me

My name is Layla Elliott, and I am deeply passionate about providing nurturing and attentive care to children. With 5 years of experience in childcare, I have cultivated a profound understanding of child development and the importance of creating a safe, engaging, and loving environment. As a pre-med student with a specialization in psychiatry, I am confident, driven, and energetic, bringing a bubbly and outgoing personality to my work. I am dedicated to fostering a positive and enriching atmosphere where children can learn, grow, and thrive.I spend most of my time in NYC and the Bronx, so commuting to a family is not a problem. I am fully committed to providing consistent and reliable care for at least the next three years.

I excel in organizing daily learning and travel schedules that focus on children’s social, emotional, and cognitive development, ensuring they reach appropriate milestones through educational, therapeutic, and recreational activities. I provide comprehensive care for children, attending to all tasks related to their overall wellness and development.

In addition to childcare, I have experience in organizing, running errands, grocery shopping, meal preparation, and cooking according to specific dietary needs. My adeptness at managing schedules with a shared calendar ensures the household runs smoothly and efficiently.

My childcare experience spans from newborns to children aged 11 years. I assist with light housekeeping, laundry, night routines, and sleep training, and I incorporate age-appropriate activities, from tummy time to educational games that stimulate cognitive development. I am also experienced in handling drop-off and pick-up routines, facilitating after-school activities, and providing support with bathing and homework.

Currently, I am majoring in psychology with the goal of pursuing a career in psychiatry, specializing in pediatrics. My bubbly, outgoing, and confident personality, combined with my belief in patience, creativity, and open communication with both children and parents, defines my approach to childcare.

I am excited about the opportunity to become a trusted and reliable part of your family’s support system. Thank you for considering me for this role.

I aspire to be in my residency, making significant strides towards my goal of becoming a psychiatrist. Additionally, I hope to be residing in New York City, taking advantage of the professional and personal growth opportunities the city offers.

Activities & skills I love to teach & share with children...

I like to involve children in outdoor activities such as trips to the park, nature walks, and bike rides to promote physical fitness. I also plan indoor activities like dance parties and yoga sessions to encourage movement. I introduce educational games, puzzles, and STEM activities to enhance cognitive skills. Additionally, I make sure to read books to the children daily to improve their vocabulary and listening abilities.
