My name is Jamila.
I take last minute requests! If you see a time not listed on the booking calendar that you’d like to book, please reach out. I am an honorably discharged Coast Guard veteran. I have experience with high profile families & am happy to sign NDAs. Infants and toddlers are my specialty, but I enjoy working with all ages. I studied sports medicine & child development at Foothill College & go to San Mateo College. I am certified in: community health work, case management, crisis intervention, mental health first aid, domestic violence/sexual assault survivor advocacy, & crime victims rights advocacy. I studied acting at Maggie Flanigan, HB studio, Upright Citizens Brigade, The Linklater Center, & the Barrow Group. I'm an actress/model, & professional painter/artist. I enjoy bringing my creativity to life with my passion with kids through teaching, painting & drawing. I enjoy creative activities like singing & acting if the kids are interested to learn. I started off in the theater as a kid and love sharing my love for the arts with families! I love taking the kids out to movies, museums, or to the park. I’m a member of MOMA, De Young, Cal Academy & Asian Art Museum. I am happy to take your child since my membership makes it free for them! I have a huge imagination & love to play games. I am experienced with yoga. I’m a reiki practitioner & energy healer. I have found kids love meditation and energy work as well. I am currently studying Spanish, Hindi, Japanese, Mandarin, & French & would tutor your children if you like! I am a southern belle and cook many things like Chinese, Indian, Italian, & many soups and pastas. I also love animals. What makes me a great caregiver is that I am creative & passionate about life. I travel & I’ve nannied all over the country. I offer a sliding scale to those self attesting to financial hardship, however my slots fill up REALLY quickly for that. I accept Apple Pay, Cash App, cash payments, or credit paid through the app when I arrive or at the conclusion of the booking. I look forward to working with you & your family! My full & part time availability is on a temporary and occasional basis. If you have longer term needs, please write me directly and let’s work something out. Note: please contact me if you’d like to do a nanny share option. I offer these as well!
Note: please let me know if your kiddo/s are sick and I’ll let you know if I can accommodate.
I do take gratuity and it is appreciated. :)
