About Leila

Not a nanny or a tutor, but something in between. My career is in professional development and freelance design, but the work I have loved longest is working with kids. I serve as a creative and developmental mentor, helping children unlock confidence, motivation, and skills through tailored project-based learning experiences. Whether we are designing a board game, writing a book, making a short film, or building a sculpture, I weave in literacy support, organization, and problem-solving at every step. I am skilled at spotting behavioral blockages that keep kids stuck, helping them reframe unhelpful thinking while nurturing their natural curiosity. Accepting only one engagement at a time, up to 2 or 3 kids max. Engagements typically last 6-18 months during the momentum phase, with less frequent maintenance availability offered thereafter.
