Hi my name is Jayla. I am 24 years old and will be graduating with my bachelor's of science in speech pathology/ audiology. I am versed in communication disorders and am a caregiver for those with developmental delays and autism as well as a registered behavioral therapist.
Am a mother of 4 and I like taking care of people both old and young. Helping is one of my favorite things I like doing and am a very simple person.
Greetings. I've been a nanny since 17 so I've had my variety of experiences. I've encountered everything from non verbal autistic, delayed development, to OCD/ anxiety and depression. I myself grew up in an Adhd household. Because of this, I am familiar on a personal level as well. I come at everything with patience and empathy.
