Booked by 36 families in South Saint Paul, MN

Hello, my name is Jasmin and here is a little bit about me. I have 3 younger siblings whom I have baby sat and raise throughout the years. In my personal experiences, I have babysat children from ages 2 and up and jobs consisted of helping with homework, playtime, and bedtime duties. Implement developmentally appropriate entertainment, fair discipline and creating stimulating environment for children in my care. I can clean, organize, work well with both as an individual or part of a team, and complete a request to the prime of my capacity. I am fluent in English, Spanish, and American Sign Language. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Communication Disorder and Sciences and a doctorate degree in Audiology. Throughout my studies and I have taken three child development courses. I see how many of the different topics I learned in my child development classes help me in my interactions with the children and I have applied many strategies I have learned in applying fair discipline and a stimulating environment while the children are in my care. I admire working with children and create activities to keep entertained, imaginary play, dancing, board games, and an aptitude for arts and crafts. I have excellent communication skills and I enjoy talking to and helping out people. I pride myself in taking on challenges and growing and learning from my different experiences whether they are good or bad. Any experience is a good learning experience. I look forward to the contingency I gain and the household I will accommodate. Thank you.

She is fantastic. She's responsible, professional, and kind. My kids adored her. She managed our often chaotic household with aplomb. Wholeheartedly reccomend.

During college I got my first nannying job and I have since been a nanny for 3 wonderful families. In addition to this, I have also babysat for many families since 2017, whether it be one time or regularly. In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my friends, spending time outside, cooking, and traveling.

Safia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Safia and I’m currently a junior at the University of St. Thomas, studying finance. I love kids and have experience working with them my whole life — I have two younger siblings who I’ve babysat since I was young. I also worked at an autism center for 3 years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for and supporting children with diverse needs. I’m also comfortable with household chores and genuinely enjoy cleaning and keeping things organized. I have been a caretaker for my grandma, so I’m well experienced with senior care too. I am allergic to and scared of dogs, but happy to work with families with cats.
