Welcome message:

Hi! I’m Jmya, a 20-year-old babysitter with over 11 years of hands-on experience caring for infants and toddlers. Caring for little ones has always come naturally to me—I started young and quickly developed a strong sense of patience, responsibility, and creativity. I love engaging kids in age-appropriate play, helping with meals, and sticking to routines that make both children and parents feel at ease.

While I don’t currently hold certifications, I bring a deep understanding of infant and toddler needs, and I always prioritize safety, communication, and nurturing care. I'm available on both weekdays and weekends, and I speak English fluently.

If you're looking for a reliable, warm, and experienced babysitter who truly enjoys working with young children, I'd love to connect with your family!
