A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Yazmeen and I am a 24 year old artist living in Oakland, CA. I have been working in education since I graduated from Cal Poly Slo in 2023 with my B.S. in psychology and minors in child development, studio arts, and ethnic studies. For work, I am substitute teaching, helping facilitate a mural workshop for a nonprofit (ages 14-25), and nurturing my painting practice. As a substitute teacher I have worked with all age groups and I truly learn from and love them all! I highly value fostering a safe and creative environment for young minds and spirits to thrive. I am a quick learner, reliable, highly adaptable, and patient. I have also picked up some babysitting gigs from family and friends but am looking for a more permanent nanny position.
Outside of work, I love to spend my free time in nature, reading, and finding a new adventure!
I am also in the process of becoming first aid and CPR certified and will update my profile once that is complete.

A little bit about me
With a strong background in childcare, special needs support, and educational development, I bring warmth, patience, and structure to every child I work with.
Most recently, I worked as a full-time nanny for a non-verbal autistic child in Oakland. My responsibilities included assisting with hygiene, feeding, and field trips, as well as designing customized developmental activities and tracking progress using data charts.
Earlier roles as a peer mentor and teaching assistant also strengthened my ability to connect with young people and build trusting relationships through care and consistency.
I take great pride in creating safe, loving, and engaging environments for children to grow. I aim to be someone children feel safe with and parents can rely on.
I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you about your family’s needs and how I can help support them.
Warmly,
Kevineh ‘kJoiee’ Emman Freeman
