Creative and compassionate caregiver!

Hi parents! I'm Lila, a passionate preschool teacher with 4+ years of experience working with little ones. Children are naturally drawn to my vibrant personality because I focus on creating a fun, engaging environment where your kids feel safe, happy, and inspired.

I believe in the magic of play, creativity, and hands on activities: crafting, storytelling, outdoor adventures, educational games, etc. Your child won't be glued to a screen and instead will be exploring, learning, and having a blast!

1. Look for relevant experience

Choose babysitters who have worked with children with similar diagnoses, behaviors, or medical needs.

Ask about CPR, first aid, and any specialized training (e.g., administering medication, ABA therapy, seizure response).

3. Ask detailed questions

Discuss how they would handle meltdowns, medical emergencies, or communication challenges.

4. Request references

Speak to families of children with special needs they’ve cared for before.

5. Arrange a meet-and-greet

Observe how they interact with your child and whether they connect in a patient, caring way.

6. Be clear about routines

Provide written instructions for meals, bedtime, medications, and calming strategies.

7. Communicate about triggers and supports

Share sensory sensitivities, behavioral strategies, and comfort items.

8. Confirm reliability

Ensure they can commit to consistent care and handle unexpected situations calmly.

9. Start with short sessions

Begin with trial sittings so your child and babysitter can build trust gradually.

10. Trust your instincts

Choose someone who shows genuine empathy, patience, and respect for your child’s individuality.
