As a childcare provider with ten years of experience, I am passionate about fostering children's growth and making a positive impact on their lives. My patience and creativity allow me to provide a nurturing environment where children can learn and thrive. I believe in open communication with parents and follow their preferred method to discuss their child's day or any concerns. While I respect and enforce household rules, I also adapt my approach to each family's unique needs. I enjoy playing outdoor sports and educational games that promote learning. With a college degree and training in early childhood education and development, I am confident in my ability to care for children of all ages. I am happy to assist with cooking, meal preparation, carpooling, light housekeeping, travel, and swimming supervision. I am also certified in First Aid and CPR. I am a non-smoker and comfortable with pets.

Hi! My name is Jasmin, and I’m 23 years old. I’ve been caring for children since I was about 8 years old. I first started by helping take care of my mom’s friends’ children, and as I got older, I became someone my family could always count on to help with the kids. I have three brothers, and when they started having children, I was there to help take care of my nieces and nephews from the time they were newborns. I’ve watched them grow up and have experience caring for children of different ages, including ages 6–8. One of my favorite things to do with my nieces and nephews is create a little school environment for them. I provide things like paper, notebooks, coloring supplies, and other activities, and I even give them snacks so it feels like they’re actually at school. I help them with math, English, reading, writing, and other schoolwork. I make learning fun and interactive, and they absolutely love having their own little “school” with me! I’m patient, responsible, caring, and genuinely enjoy spending time with children. Childcare has been a big part of my life for many years, and I love creating a safe, fun, and positive environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable being themselves.
