Hello!

Thank you for taking the time to find out a little about me, a caregiver in the Richmond area. Most of my experience as a nanny has been while providing before school morning care (15+ years) and throughout my experience working in child care, I have also been regularly providing care for families in the evenings/weekends on an as needed basis.
I have a clear criminal and drug background check and am a non-smoker. I have my own reliable transportation with current TDL and insurance. Up-to-date on flu shot, Tdap, MMR vaccines. References and Care background check available upon request after phone or in person meeting and mutual interest. 
Feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you!

As a first time parent living away from family, I felt a lot of anxiety about finding someone for childcare. After having an interview call with Laila I immediately felt at ease. She was professional, friendly and very helpful in guiding me through the process of hiring childcare. She has been absolutely wonderful with my daughter and I feel so relieved to have found someone trustworthy to rely on. Scheduling is very easy and she is always punctual. I highly recommend Laila as a caregiver! 

Laila is incredible. She is great with our 6-year-old daughter. Laila is very detailed and follows sitting instructions perfectly. She is kind and patient. She also is great at communicating. We strongly recommend Laila as a sitter. You will be happy you worked with her. 

She is very detailed

Laila has been dependable, caring, and wonderful with my daughter\. She is patient, engaging, and always creates a safe, positive environment\. I appreciate her professionalism, reliability, and genuine kindness\. I would gladly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver.

Laila is absolutely great with my 2 year old daughter. For context: my daughter has moments of being a Stage 5 Clinger, or she's having a tantrum.  Laila is able to keep her calm and distracted. When I come home, the house is tidy, my daughter is clean, fed, safe, and sleeping. Laila is also very thorough in making sure the routine is followed. She is very clear with expectations and keeping me updated about how my daughter is doing. :)

Laila is absolutely amazing! You couldn’t pick a better person to care for your child. From my first conversation with her, she made me feel like she truly cares and is on top of everything. She will know your child’s routine and make them feel very comfortable. I couldn’t recommend her more!

Laila is very kind and so thorough! She always makes sure to follow our kiddos schedule and asks questions for clarity, which I really appreciate. Our two little ones have taken to her super quickly and are always excited for her to come over to watch them. I always feel very confident that they will be well taken. She is smart and patient and has great instincts when it comes to caring for our boys. I would recommend her to anyone needing childcare.

We've been lucky to have Laila as our babysitter for the past year, and she has been absolutely wonderful. She's always quick to reply, very professional, and incredibly kind. Our kids love spending time with her because she actively engages them in fun and meaningful activities like arts and crafts, trips to the park, and visits to the library.

We recently had her stay with our kids for five days and five nights, and everything went incredibly smoothly. Knowing they were in such caring and capable hands gave us real peace of mind.

She strikes a perfect balance—she’s loving and nurturing, but also firm when needed, especially at bedtime. With two energetic boys who love to wrestle, we really appreciate that she’s able to keep them on their bedtime routine!

She’s also extremely reliable and flexible. We’ve had last-minute needs—even calling her at 10 p.m. the night before—and she still showed up at 8 a.m. ready to help. In all the time we’ve known her, she’s never canceled on us.

We truly feel so fortunate to have found her and couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Laila has been watching our kids for years and is very sweet.  The kids are so comfortable with her and love when she comes over.  I also love how professional she is with text follow ups and confirmations.  Highly recommend. :)

Laila is sweet, reliable and my baby is all smiles when playing with her! 

We are really happy and comfortable  with Laila. We have been working with her for five  years. She always makes sure to ask and follow our schedule with the kids. Our kids get excited whenever she comes.

We just recently started using Laila for our occasional date nights, and she’s been great. She’s super attentive, respectful, understanding, and always wants to make sure that you & your child feel safe & comfortable. And a bonus— she’s always on time! 

Laila is absolutely amazing and a true professional when it comes to child care. Our whole family adores her, she is amazing with communication and our kids adore her! If I could give her ten starts I would ❤️

Laila is a lifesaver. Our 4 yr old son F. loves her and she’s so sweet with him. She shows up on time, is extremely professional yet caring, and always goes above and beyond to ensure F. is taken care of. Our son has sensory processing disorder which Laila helps with and tries to get him to engage more with normal activities. We have used her multiple times and will continue to do so. She has sat for us when our power went out and we knew F. would be safe with her until we got home. Absolutely love her. 

We are so grateful to have found Laila. She has been caring for our daughter since she was an infant and is now almost 3 years old. Since Laila started sitting for us, she has maintained a high level of professionalism and attention to detail, but is always a wonderful, nurturing presence for our daughter. She is considerate, punctual and polite, and we could not be happier with the exceptional level of care she has continued to provide our family. Our daughter always has the best time with her and we are thankful for that peace of mind. 

Laila is absolutely amazing; when I first found her on care.com I knew from her profile and the other reviews that she would be a great fit for my family. From our first visit, I was impressed by how professional and thorough she is to detail and obtaining the information about my child. My 4 year old son absolutely loves her and literally runs to the door every time she comes over to care for him. She is always punctual, is mindful of the instructions I give, and has this amazing spirit about her. I will absolutely continue to utilize her services for my family for years to come. 

Laila has been watching my boys for about 3 years now. She’s punctual and very good with them. Laila has also done overnight care with the boys. She’s attentive and the boys are always excited to have her around.

We loved having her!  She is extremely dependable and made sure everything was taken care of each morning. 
I highly recommend her!!

Laila has been such a blessing to our small family. She was the first non-family member to watch our little one and she's done a fantastic job time and again. She's even great with our very excited dog. Laila is very thorough, personable, and is dependable.
