I am a dedicated Paralegal graduate with an Associate Degree, bringing strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of professionalism and confidentiality. My legal background has equipped me with excellent communication, problem-solving, and multitasking abilities that I carry into every role I take on. In addition to my legal training, I have valuable hands-on experience working with reputable nanny agencies and in daycare settings. I’ve supported children of various ages, helping create safe, nurturing, and structured environments where they can grow, learn, and feel confident. My time in daycare strengthened my ability to manage routines, encourage positive behavior, and support early childhood development. Beyond my professional experience, I am passionate about poetry, which reflects my creativity, patience, and emotional awareness qualities that allow me to connect meaningfully with children and families. I am always excited to work with new families and build trusting, supportive relationships. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate care while contributing positively to each child’s growth and happiness.

Hello my name is Jashira. So a little about me I am a full time student, studying Law Technology & Culture. I usually babysit in my family and have been doing so since I myself was still a child. I have been babysitting on UrbanSitter now for about a year, (as well as SitterCity, Nannylane, and Care.com) and I have to say since I've been a caregiver for other families I've had nothing but positive experiences. I have lots of experience caring for infants, babies, kids, and teenagers. I love babysitting as I like to think of it as a moment to get away from things which may be stressful (school especially lol). Watching and interacting with kids, and just seeing them be carefree brings me so much joy, and playing with babies and making them happy also lights up my world. I just love being able to make people smile.
