A little bit about me

My name is Nasmia, I’m 20 years old from Newark, NJ. I worked as a babysitter for 4 years caring for 2 children, handling meals, homework help, playtime, and daily routines. I’m also a certified Home Health Aide, so I bring professional training in safety, care, and responsibility. Being a mom myself, I understand how important patience, structure, and trust are when it comes to children. I’m also an artist, so I love bringing creativity and imagination into children’s daily routines. On top of that, I homeschool my own child, which has given me experience in building patience, structure, and fun learning activities that keep kids engaged. My personality is naturally warm and nurturing, but also dependable and disciplined, so children feel safe, supported, and encouraged.
