About Lela

Hi! I'm a nurturing, reliable caregiver with over a decade of experience working with children from infancy through early school age. I have a strong background in early childhood education, including one-on-one support for children with special needs such as autism, ADHD, and sensory processing differences. I'm CPR and First Aid certified. I'm deeply committed to creating a safe, joyful, and consistent environment where kids can thrive emotionally, socially, and creatively. My caregiving style is grounded, intuitive, and play-based. I support emotional regulation through gentle structure, sensory play, and clear communication, and I love engaging kids with art, nature, music, and storytelling. I'm comfortable preparing meals, helping with routines, and pitching in with light household tasks. I believe in partnering with families to meet each child's unique needs and bring calm, heart-centered care into your home.
