More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I have worked as a full-time nanny, caring for children of different ages, supporting their emotional development, organizing creative and educational activities, and maintaining routines in a safe and loving environment. I also assist with light housekeeping and homework help, especially in Spanish.

Emotional Guidance Counselor
As a trained emotional counselor and Gestalt facilitator, I have supported children, teenagers, and adults in identifying and expressing their emotions, overcoming personal challenges, and building confidence through active listening, storytelling, and workshops. I create safe spaces for personal growth and healing, especially for migrants and vulnerable populations.

Teaching Experience
I am a certified teacher with a Master's degree in Education (Guidance specialization). I have taught children and young adults in both formal and informal settings, focusing on emotional intelligence, personal development, and academic support.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love reading stories, painting, doing crafts, going for walks, playing outdoors, helping with homework, singing, dancing, and creating educational games. I also enjoy teaching daily routines, sharing healthy habits, and doing simple cooking activities together.

I focus on making every moment meaningful—whether we’re creating something with our hands or just talking about their day. I’m warm, responsible, and fully present with the children I care for.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Why Being a Nanny Is Important to Me

For me, being a nanny means becoming part of the family. I believe parents always want the very best for their children—not only in terms of safety and care, but also in love, understanding, patience, and empathy.

What matters most to me is helping children feel happy, safe, and seen. I love building healthy habits and joyful routines, and I know that children are like little sponges—absorbing everything around them. That’s why I believe they should be treated with humor, kindness, and respect.

Children are learning how to live, and every moment with them helps shape who they become. I see each child as delicate and unique, and I consider it a great responsibility—and a privilege—to help nurture their growth and personality.

My experience with special needs children...

Nanny with more than 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, including children with special needs. I’ve had the opportunity to work with children with hearing impairments and dyslexia, offering them patient, personalized support to help them grow with confidence.

Jasmina J. - Seeking Work in Bensonhurst

Babysitter Available in Bensonhurst, NY: Jasmina J.

Hi! I’m currently a student and looking for a babysitting opportunity. While I don’t have official babysitting experience yet, I’ve always loved being around children and naturally connect with them very well. I’m very patient, caring, and energetic, and I enjoy making kids laugh, spending time with them, and being someone they feel comfortable around. I’m often described as having an “older sister” type of personality because I like giving advice, helping out, and making sure kids feel supported and safe.

Right now, during the school year, I’m mainly available on weekdays after school and more flexible on weekends. During the summer, I’ll have much more availability and be able to work more hours. I’m dependable, eager to learn, and excited for the opportunity to help families however I can!
