Hello! I'm an older sister to 6 siblings, so I grew up in a big family and have been caring for younger children for as long as I could remember. Enjoying creative play, arts & crafts, and having the natural, nurturing instincts of an older sibling, I have always loved and been awesome at providing Great childcare! Many people say you really love what you do when you find yourself doing it for people often, even when not being compensated. This describes how I feel about providing childcare. Caring for children keeps me young at heart, keeps me active and fit, and can be so much fun and sometimes unpredictable, that there is never a dull moment! There are several things that contribute to my exemplary experience at providing excellent childcare. Regarding first impressions, my compassionate, fun-loving personality is very contagious and children always take to me with ease. I'm Read more a very creative person, so I can always come up with exciting, engaging ways to interact with and entertain children. Furthermore, I have been an Elementary School Teacher of Kindergarten and Second grades. Consequently, not only am I able to have fun with children, I am qualified to educate and tutor them as well. I am also CPR/First Aid/AED Certified. Overall, I am a well-rounded and responsible childcare provider with an impeccable resume of over 20 years of experience and excellent references. I have an ever-lasting love for what I do, and would be honored to be chosen to sit for your child(ren) and give the care, consideration, and educational fun & stimulation that only someone of my exceptional experience could provide. I also ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO TRAVEL, so I'd be ECSTATIC to travel with you and your family (should you need an affordable caregiver - and some adult time to yourself - while traveling with your children)! Thank you for reviewing my profile! :-) Najla

Najla is amazing! She watched 5 kids from two families, including one infant, and managed everything wonderfully. She brought lots of games and toys to our hotel room, played with each of the children and understood their particular needs for the evening, and made time for each one. Three weeks later, our kids are still asking when they will see her again!

Najla is wonderful. I would highly recommend hiring her. She worked with our twins for almost a year, but unfortunately we moved. My kids loved her and enjoyed spending time with her. She also gives good feedback on how your child is doing.

Najla is amazing with kids. My friend and I are on a five week trip to LA from Norway with our two 8 month old sons. We have used her several times. She is on time, bring toys for the specific age group, keep you updated while you are gone. My friend and I both feel comfortable leaving our son’s with Najla, not everyone can handle babysitting two small boys she just met at the same time. I will highly reccomend her!!

Oh Najla. You are our most favorite of favoritest. Mary Poppins come to life but 30 times better. If I’d have my way, you’d move in. But on a more serious note, Najla is an amazing care giver and human. She brings the most wonderful energy with her and I’m pretty sure my daughter prefers Najla to me. Nalja brings a giant bag of games and toys for the littles to play with and is always on time and thoroughly communicative. My daughter was super comfortable with her from the moment she walked in and so was I. Najla we adore you and thankful you are part of our family now.

Najla recently took care of my 5 month old son. As a new mom I am quite nervous to leave him with anyone but Najla was so great from the time we first spoke on the phone that it put me right at ease. She was on time, pleasant, engaging with my son (playing, reading, singing) and had a great positive attitude. My son was happy and felt very comfortable with her too. I highly recommend her for your babysitting needs!

Najla responded to a unique job I posted where I needed coverage for a 2 week period while I was traveling out of state for work and my daughter Violet needed to stay home to keep her routine. My daughter is almost 3 years old and very active. Najla was responsible for preparing her meals, taking her to school, bathing, and engaging Violet in interesting play activities each day from morning until my husband came home from work. This included driving Violet to school and taking her to activities outside of the home. I really can't say enough positive things...Najla has a beautifully positive and loving nature that was so good for Violet. Violet was excited to see her and spend time with her each day and I had peace of mind knowing Violet was in great hands while I was across the country. Najla is also very responsible and punctual in addition to being professional and thorough in her communication. I feel very fortunate to have connected with Najla here and would hire Najla as my first choice for future child care needs.

I had Najla watch my two children and new puppy for 3 days while my regular nanny was away on vacation. My children want Najla back and wish their normal nanny went back on vacation! LOL! She came prepared with a huge bag of board games, crafts and activities. She kept the house nice and tidy after a full day of fun. She was also a great trooper when it came to dealing with a new puppy that has not been house-broken yet. She will definitely be invited back to our home.

What a blessing it was to find Najla. Najla responed to our post last minute and thank goodness she did. We went through a few other nannies, but they did not work out. I was about to give up, then I got a notification of a new message. After speaking with Najla I felt completely comfortable with her taking care of our 3 children (ages 1 1/2 - 8yrs old) without meeting her face to face. Najla was very professional, caring, loving, energetic. She literally came walking up to our hotel hands full of games, books and crafts everyday. Najla found age appropriate activities for the whole weekend so they were not stuck inside the hotel all day long. I am highly recommending her in caring for your child(ren), you will not be disappointed I wish we lived in closer to her or vice versa.

We have a two-year-old boy and Nalja has been our babysitter for a couple of months now. She is wonderful! Very enthusiastic, reliable and trustworthy. She always has a smile on her face and our son loves her. We would definitely recommend her to other parents!

Najla is a wonderful sitter! She is enthuisastic, energetic, and truly happy to be around children. She is good with keeping the kids entertained, and is quick to build a relationship with them. Highly recommend her! 10 stars!

We were visiting Vegas on vacation last week, and we found Najla on SitterCity to care for our 2 1/2 year old son a couple of nights so we could go play. We were extremely nervous about securing a sitter in a town like Vegas, but every reference we called for her raved and gushed about her. One even said that her son got jealous when he heard that Najla was going to be watching someone else's child. So we booked her, and the reviews didn't even do her justice. She showed up each time with age appropriate toys, like cars and balls and dinosaur toys, and Ranger took to her like he'd known her forever. The first night, he insisted on sleeping with the new ball she got him, and he raved about her all week long. Where he normally has a little separation anxiety as we leave, he seemed happy to see us go, so he could play with Najla. I would completely trust her again - and by the end of the week we were wishing she'd move to Sacramento so she could be our regular sitter! She's got a gift... you won't regret choosing her to care for your little ones!
