Meet Leila: A nanny and babysitter in Yeronga, QLD

Hi, I'm Leila! Currently I am training in dance and working as a dance teacher in various primary and high schools. I have a particular love for working with young children- their vibrant personalities are so inspiring and I think every one of us can learn something from their keen, watchful brains. My voluntary work at Hyde Road Kindergarten during my completion of the Duke of Edinburgh Silver award taught me to create fun games which balance freedom for exploration with safety. I love helping children develop their brains and fine motor skills to foster an appreciation for learning within a society that blames it's youngest generations for being tempted by AI and screens. These things of which were created by adults who have already had the chance to develop their own critical thinking skills. Technology is incredible once we know how to use it effectively, but I have a passion for motivating children to want to put the work in and enjoy learning for the value of knowledge itself. For a little insight into my current endeavours, I have been accepted into a Bachelor of Philosophy, Politics and Economics at the University of Queensland beginning 2026 with an ATAR of 96.55. Currently, I am taking a gap year after graduating high school to focus on dance and my current project- writing and composing an original musical. I must acknowledge my strange array of interests, but who doesn't love dreaming? Oh, to be the next Lin Manuel-Miranda. I thank you for considering me as a babysitter for your child, and wish you a lovely day full of learning.
