Hi! I’m Jasmin.
I’m a 21-year-old university student who loves spending time with kids. Whether it’s arts and crafts, scavenger hunts, or mini-movie nights, I enjoy planning fun and engaging activities that keep kids happy and entertained.
As the oldest of three siblings, caring for little ones has always been a natural part of my life, but I officially began babysitting at 12 after completing the Red Cross Babysitting Course. Since then, I’ve cared for children ages 1–12 and have also looked after pets, so I’m happy to help with furry friends too!
I have a clean driving record with a full Class 5 license and a clean criminal record/vulnerable section check that I can provide. I completed 8 years of French immersion in elementary school, 4 years of high school-level French courses and I’m now working toward a bilingual certificate at the university level. I’m also currently a student in the Doctor of Pharmacy program at the U of S, so I’m also comfortable helping with all kinds of homework and know how to create a positive, supportive environment for learning.
I offer live-out services and am available for occasional babysitting needs, perfect for families seeking flexibility. Whether you need help during weekdays, weekends, or just for the odd evening out, I’m here to provide dependable and cheerful care.
My rate is negotiable and I am available to start right away!
If you’re searching for a reliable sitter who connects well with children and can support their growth and happiness, please feel free to message me. I would love to discuss how I can be a great fit for your family!
