I raised two wonderful humans to adulthood, and have been teaching high school English for 15 years while earning numerous awards and commendations. I also come trained as a first responder through 15 years of experience with Search and Rescue which includes certification as EMR (including First Aid, CPR, and AED for infants through adults) as well as numerous awards and commendations. I volunteered for 10 years in the youth program at my church (Calvary Chapel, Reno/Sparks), worked as the lead teacher of the school-age summer program at Little Knights and Maidens, led the youth program at my local library for many years, and led my own children through myriad sports and activities (soccer, dance, 4H, Scouts, etc). As my own children are recently off to college, I find myself with more time on my hands, and I would love to serve my community while making some extra tuition money for my own kids. Tutoring of course can be included in the services listed.

Booked by 2 families in Reno, NV

Hi there, my name is Jasmine! I have always loved taking care of kids by making them feel comfortable and stay safe while their parents are away. I want to be a mom one day as I value creating an environment for children to learn and grow. I am currently a student-athlete at the University of Nevada, Reno where I have had the opportunity to volunteer with Girls on the Run and at a couple of local elementary schools. As an active member in college athletics and 5+ years of babysitting experience, I embody responsibility and have already made the commitment to put your kids first. I look forward to connecting!

Jasmine is awesome and I really hope to hire her again. She instantly bonded with my kids, kept them happy, fed, clean, entertained (on a rainy day!), and tidied up with them after playing and meals. She handled nap time like a pro and was entirely self sufficient. Highly recommend!!

Booked by 4 families in Reno, NV

Hi! I’m Olivia and I am attending UNR as a nursing student. I previously worked as a newborn hearing screening technician. I am currently available for mostly occasional babysitting/date nights and am down for whatever your kid is into (sports, art, games). I have experience with kids of all ages and special needs, as well as pets. I have worked at kids summer camps for a while as well, and am First aid and CPR certified. I have a reliable car for transportation.

Olivia arrived early and quickly put us at ease for a fun day on the slopes. She was very communicative with a steady trickle of updates. We plan to have her back next week.
