Yasmiin $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Yasmiin. I recently graduated with a degree in Public Health and have always loved working with children. In addition to my professional experience mentoring youth, coaching, and caregiving, I have been blessed to help raise and live with my niece and nephew, who are now 5 and 7 years old. Being actively involved in their daily lives has taught me so much about patience, creativity, communication, and creating a safe and nurturing environment for children. I am responsible, dependable, and caring, with experience supporting children of different ages and personalities. I enjoy planning fun activities that keep kids engaged, including arts and crafts, games, outdoor adventures, reading, and educational activities. I also enjoy helping with homework, preparing simple meals, maintaining routines, and assisting with light household tasks when needed. My background in caregiving and crisis intervention has strengthened my ability to stay calm under pressure, solve problems, and prioritize safety. Families can count on me to be attentive, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in their children’s well-being. My goal is to create a fun, positive, and supportive experience where children feel comfortable, encouraged, and cared for. I would love the opportunity to support your family and build a meaningful connection with your children!

I’m reliable, patient, and love creating a positive, engaging environment for kids of all ages. Whether it’s crafts, story time, or helping with homework, I’m happy to jump in wherever I’m needed. I look forward to meeting your family!

"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!"
