Jamila | Infant, Toddler,
& Childcare Specialist | Rapid-Response Backup & Last Minute Care
Hi, I’m Jamila! I specialize in rapid-response backup, occasional, temporary, and recurring care for infants, toddlers, and busy executive families across the Bay Area. I have experience nannying all around the USA- in NYC, Hawaii, Arizona, Los Angeles, Portland OR, & Las Vegas.
Why Families Hire Me:
Background & Safety: Honorably discharged U.S. Coast Guard veteran. Experienced with high-profile/corporate families; fully comfortable signing NDAs.
Specialized Education: Child Development, Physical Education, Business, and Sports Medicine coursework (Foothill College); certifications in Community Health Work, Case Management, Social Work, Crisis Intervention, Peer Support, Mental Health First Aid and Reiki. I am also trained in sexual assault and domestic violence survivor advocacy. I am a classically trained actress with studies in LA and NYC, a military trained public affairs specialist & also briefly attended The Art Students League in NYC, the Stanford Summer Session, & Parsons University for fine art. I currently attend San Mateo College & study real estate, arts & media & sociology. I studied child development, sports medicine, physical education and kinesiology at Foothill College, before transferring to San Mateo, with a 3.87, and made the Dean’s List.
Engaging & Creative: I bring age-appropriate art, museum trips, and interactive learning to every shift to keep children active and engaged. My education in child development and art keeps my childcare fun, yet educational for the children. I have been doing theater since I was 4 years old, so I understand the importance of the arts in childcare. I also am studying Hindi, Urdu, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, and Egyptian Arabic in my spare time. I’m happy to tutor your children in languages and art.
