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.

Empty nester Mom experienced raising my own kids as a stay at home Mom whom were two years apart. They’re now college graduates. I currently nanny a sweet toddler whom I have nannied since she was 8 weeks old. Her family’s needs are changing, so my availability is opening up. I have joined many beautiful families that I still keep in touch with! I am available on occasional Mondays. If commit to scheduled days with your family, I require guaranteed pay. 6 hr/day minimum. If you want someone that has experience raising her own children as a stay at home Mom, and has helped many lovely families, reach out! I will provide the best loving, patient and attentive care. 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. I’m patient, nurturing, and really love children. i have assisted several families in sleep training their babies with the successful Ferber method. I have my Associate’s degree in early childhood education. I love to teach and watch children learn and flourish. I’m loving, attentive, patient, very clean, healthy and happy. Message me for detailed availability. I accept work in clean households only. I don’t mind disorganized, but it at least must be clean. Clear background check, and CPR & First Aid Certified.

I’ve been a full time nanny for the past 6 years (4 & 6 year old). Beyond that, I’ve been babysitting for over 15 years. I’ve been a swim teacher, camp counselor, you name it. I’m creative & like to make sure your children have fun, and you feel confident they’re taken care of!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
