Hi, my name is Jayla, and I've always had a genuine love for caring for children. Whether it's building forts, reading stories, or helping with routines, I enjoy being a calm, fun, and reliable presence in a child's day. My first experience with children comes from my 3 younger brothers, who’ve taught me the importance of patience, safety, and connection. I believe every child deserves to be seen, heard, and supported, and I take pride in creating a positive space where each child can grow and freely express themselves. I'm excited to bring this mindset into each space I enter.
