Hello! Thanks for visiting my profile. I have caregiving experience with ages 1-7 as well as coaching/teaching experience with elementary and middle school students. I currently am between jobs. Most recently I was a nanny and am available for occasional work in the San Diego County area for the next two weeks. I am kind, patient, and genuine with children. I study Montessori methods and my style is gentle yet firm. I enjoy being around kids of all ages as well as dogs and cats, and am comfortable caring for pets. I also enjoy tidying and organizing.

Booked by 1 family in Carlsbad, CA

Hi! My name is Jasmine. I’ve been married for 24 years and am a proud mom of two daughters (ages 20 & 15). Born and raised in Carlsbad and now reside in Oceanside. For the past 10 years, I’ve cared for three wonderful boys who have since grown up, and over the years I’ve looked after children of all ages — from infants to teens. Along with childcare, I’ve also cared for my own parents, which gave me experience supporting seniors with kindness and patience. I’ve house-sat, puppy-sat, cleaned homes, and even helped host parties by serving food and tidying up. Families describe me as energetic, positive, and fun. I love playing games, being outdoors, and even heading to the ocean for some fresh air and adventure. Whether it’s caring for your little ones, your furry friends, or offering companionship to a senior, I’ll make sure everyone feels safe, happy, and cared for. I’d love to support your family however I can!

Jasmine is absolutely wonderful. From the moment my daughter met her, my daughter connected with her instantly. She genuinely engages with our daughter and clearly cares about her well-being. She is kind, reliable, fun, and incredibly trustworthy. She's also communicative and punctual and an absolute pleasure to work with. I couldn't recommend her care more highly.

I know just what they need to feel happy, safe and fulfilled when Mom and Dad need to work. I have volunteered in elementary and middle school in both of my kid’s classrooms when they were growing up. I was Room Mom for many of those years. I was Team Mom for their sports, and very involved helping organize my daughter’s Club volleyball teams every year. I worked as an Instructional Assistant for Temecula School District for several years. Needless to say, I have lots of experience with kids from infants on up.
