Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Hello! My name is Layla, and I have a background in Psychology with both a science degree and an honours degree. I’m warm, responsible, and love working with people. My experience includes being a deputy head girl, a counselor at a suicide helpline, and an education leader, where I supported students and led educational programs. I enjoy creative activities like painting and clay molding and learning about different cultures and religions. As an animal lover and cat mom, I value empathy and kindness. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities, music, and exploring new experiences. I look forward to creating a positive, supportive environment for your family!

Why I would make the perfect au pair

With a background in psychology, education, and tutoring, I bring a well-rounded skill set in communication, empathy, and adaptability. My experience as an education leader, tutor, and mentor has refined my ability to connect with and support children in their learning and development. Tutoring has taught me to be patient, attentive, and resourceful, tailoring my approach to individual needs. My front-of-house experience has equipped me with multitasking and organizational skills, while my administrative roles ensure reliability and attention to detail. Combined with my passion for creativity and fostering growth, I’m confident in my ability to provide a nurturing and engaging environment as an au pair.

Hobbies and other interests

I have a variety of hobbies and interests that keep me active, creative, and engaged. I love creative activities like painting, coloring, and clay molding, which allow me to explore my artistic side. I’m also passionate about being outdoors, enjoying activities like hiking, picnics, and swimming. I have a keen interest in exploring different cultures and learning about various religions and philosophies. Reading YA novels that delve into human struggles resonates with my curiosity about people’s experiences. Additionally, I love dancing, having fun with music, and trying new activities that bring joy and connection.

Job description

I oversaw the specialised tuition of students by engaging with their tutors, parents, and the students themselves to understand more about them, their progress, and the environment in which they live. We focus on providing individualized support depending on the students understanding, state of mind, interests, and goals to help them grow in their academic career and interpersonally.
