A little bit about me

Hello there! Growing up in a big family with six siblings, I naturally assumed the role of a responsible caretaker from a young age, being the second oldest. Taking care of my four younger siblings has been an incredible journey that has shaped my love and passion for working with children. I find immense joy in their company and firmly believe that children have so much to teach us, just as we have to teach them. As a nanny, I bring not only my experience in raising my siblings but also a deep understanding of the importance of fostering a nurturing and supportive environment. I am dedicated to providing attentive care, encouraging creativity, and promoting a positive learning atmosphere. It would be an honor for me to be a part of your child's growth and development.

A little bit about me

Hi families!
I’m Jazmin, a dedicated nanny with broad experience caring for infants and toddlers. My passion for working with children began watching my mom as a preschool teacher and that love has only grown.

I hold a BA in Psychology and have training in child nutrition, sleep safety, language, and newborn care.
I'm CPR & First Aid certified, TrustLine registered (background check), and up to date on vaccinations.

I create fun, educational, and nurturing routines, including developmental activities, crafts, sensory play, outdoor adventures, singing, and reading, while supporting healthy habits like nutritious meals and consistent sleep.
Families describe me as calm, reliable, and caring, and I bring warmth, structure, and love to every day.

A little bit about me

I just graduated from USC and am taking some time off from the professional work world. I babysat all throughout high school, and was a nanny during summer breaks. I love sports and being active outside, but also love a good coloring/craft session indoors. I can't wait to have a family of my own, so nannying is the next best thing for me at this point in my life!
