Experience: 3 yrs
Nurturing young minds is my passion! My three years of experience caring for children aged newborn to 11 have solidified my commitment to fostering their growth. I'm patient, creative, and comfortable caring for up to three children at a time. I communicate with parents through their preferred method, whether it's a quick chat at pickup or regular updates via text. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules and love engaging kids with outdoor sports and educational games. I have First Aid Training and CPR Training. I'm also happy to help with light housekeeping and swimming supervision. My background includes Early Child Development coursework and some college. Being a certified teacher has helped me to be a better caregiver. I'm excited to bring my energy and experience to your family, creating a safe and stimulating environment where your children can thrive.
Jocelyn has been with our family for 6 months. She has been amazing from the first week she started. Our little one was 5 months at the time and only contact napping. Within the first two day he had a nap schedule and was sleeping in his crib. She also helped us in the introduction of solid food. Her knowledge and confidence eased our worries about this big milestone and let us really enjoy the process. Jocelyn has been instrumental in the leaps and bounds our little one has accomplished. He is almost walking now and babbling non stop. She is extremely attentive and makes sure he has everything he needs to succeed. She reads, sings and plays with him all day long. She notices and lets us know immediately if there are any issues (diaper rash, runny nose, etc.). Jocelyn goes above and beyond by coming up with crafts and activities like busy bags and hand/foot print art. She even sends new recipes and activities when she’s not here. We could not have asked for a better person to watch our baby. She became a cherished member of our little family and would have continued with us if we weren’t relocating out of state. We simply can not say enough positive things and will miss her dearly. Her next family will be extremely lucky to have Jocelyn watch after their child(ren).
