Hi! My name is Jawariya, but you can call me J. I’m a 28-year-old marketing professional with 11 years of hands-on babysitting experience. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, and have worked with families both regularly and on an as-needed basis for evenings, weekends, and special occasions. My background includes years of consistent babysitting, as well as early experience through high school and college. I’m confident in my ability to multitask, keep children engaged, and maintain a safe, nurturing environment. Fun fact- I was in nursing school for 3 years and made a career change to marketing during COVID! I’m reliable, flexible with scheduling, and happy to provide references upon request. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
