I’m CPR, First Aid, and Mandated Reporter certified, and I have a background in Human Development and Family Sciences with a minor in Psychology.

Anika $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m a super auntie who has loved caring for kids since I was a teenager! I raised my two nieces from infancy and I absolutely adore every moment with children. I work comfortably with infants all the way up to teens. For years I ran an after-school playground program with 75–100 kids, where I worked with all kinds of personalities and backgrounds. I’m patient, attentive, and believe love and kindness come first. I love helping children work through their feelings and problems in a gentle way — kids have such amazing perspectives and they teach us so much! I’m also happy to lend a hand with light housework, elderly care, or pets. Whether it’s playing, doing homework, or just being a warm, reliable presence, I bring fun and care to every family. I’d love to meet yours! 💕

Booked by 1 family in Pala, 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.
