Hi families! My name is Jasmine, and I’m currently a rising junior at Wellesley College double majoring in Education and Psychology. I have always loved working with children because I understand how important it is for them to have someone who is patient, supportive, and trustworthy in their lives. I also understand that choosing someone to care for your child is a big decision, and I never take that trust lightly. My goal is to create an environment where children feel safe, comfortable, and encouraged to be themselves. My experience caring for children has grown naturally through my family and the relationships I have built with the children I have cared for. As an older sister, I have always helped support and look after my siblings, which taught me responsibility, patience, and the importance of being attentive to each child’s individual needs. I have also had the opportunity to care for my younger cousin from infancy through his toddler years, and watching him grow has taught me so much about the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a nurturing environment. While attending Wellesley, I have also gained babysitting experience in Boston, where I have enjoyed getting to know families and helping create a safe and positive space for their children. I have experience connecting with children at different ages and stages, and I love being someone they can feel comfortable with, whether that means helping with routines, playing, learning, or simply being there to support them. I would describe myself as dependable, caring, patient, and responsible. I enjoy creating activities that allow children to explore and have fun, such as reading, music, dancing, creative activities, outdoor walks, and helping with homework. My background in Education and Psychology has also helped me better understand children’s development, emotions, and the importance of making them feel valued and heard. I also have a SafeChokeSaver certification, which has strengthened my knowledge of child safety and preparedness. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide a caring, safe, and positive environment where your child feels happy, supported, and able to be themselves.
