About Ilayda

Hello! My name is Ilayda, and I'm excited to offer nanny and pet sitting services. I recently graduated from SJSU with a BFA in Interior Design. I come from multicultural parents so I am fluent in English, Russian, and Turkish. I currently work as a lifeguard on campus and am CPR/AED certified, ensuring I can handle emergencies with calm and competence. I have a 10-year-old dog who I've cared for since she was a puppy, and I spent a lot of time looking after my younger sister who is eight years younger than me, giving me plenty of experience with kids. I was also a competitive swimmer for 12 years and worked as a swim instructor for children aged 4 - 14. This experience helped me engage with kids in a fun, safe, and educational way. Balancing my career in Interior Design, I'm looking to fill my free time by doing something I equally love: caring for kids and pets. I believe in creating a warm, fun, and responsible environment for everyone I look after.
