Hi, Iβm Jasmine! β¨Iβve been babysitting since I was 13 and have had the pleasure of caring for many wonderful families over the years. One summer, I worked as a nanny for a family with two children, ages 4 and 10. My responsibilities included meal preparation, homework help, bedtime routines, transportation, and light cleaning. I graduated from the University of Richmond in May 2023 and am currently pursuing my medical degree at the University of Missouri. Iβm excited to be back home and look forward to connecting with new families!When I babysit, I enjoy creating interactive activities that keep kids engaged and entertained. From making homemade playdough to setting up bowling games with plastic cups and tennis balls, I love getting creative. If the weather is nice, I always make time for outdoor play. Weβve even turned lunchtime into fun picnics or set up obstacle courses in the playroom! I believe in combining discipline with fun, ensuring activities are both enjoyable and help reinforce positive behaviors. I also prioritize following any specific instructions parents provide, tailoring my approach to meet their expectations as well as the unique needs and interests of their children.I look forward to meeting your family and having fun together!

When teaching young children, I believe in gentle parenting techniques and the Montessori method. Patience is the most important thing when helping young children grasp and work through their emotions. Even if it is difficult, it is the duty of the caretaker to act as a calm and steady center to best guide children through the difficult stages of development.Β I believe children need structure, understanding, and engaged play to truly thrive. While not every child is the same, all children deserve to be shown utmost kindness. There are many things a child will not understand or can't yet, but it's the caretaker's job to help them navigate the world to the best of their ability.Β
