Booked by 1 family in Mountlake Terrace, WA

Hi! I’m Yasmin and have been babysitting and nannying for over 20 years. I would describe myself as extremely outgoing, fun and bubbly! I am an avid traveler and have traveled to over 30 countries! I am fluent in Arabic and went to boarding school in Amman, Jordan. I have a huge family with over 60 cousins, nephews and nieces. I love kids and did my first year of university in Education. I did receive honors and after graduation I went on and received my certification in TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language). I am now doing a masters program and am looking to babysit part time. Both my parents are chefs/baker so I love to cook and feed nutritious meals to your kids. I’m clean, reliable and honest. I’m excited to connect, learn and help your family! Thank you!!

"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!"
