A little bit about me

Hello, My name is Jocelyn, I am a mother of 3 and a grandmother of 6. I volunteered at a non-profit organization with 42 children. I love arts and crafts. I also enjoy baking. I love comedy and always remember that a small smile can go a long way. I am a very patient person. There is not much I can say other than I love caring for others and seeing a smile on a child's face. I can appreciate a strong family structure. I graduated from high school and attended 2 years of college at Hilbert College in Hamburg N.Y. Other than all of those little things you previously read, I guess I'm just all around AWESOME!

A little bit about me

Hi everyone! My name is Brittany, friends and family call me Brit! I’ve been in the caregiving profession most of my life, being the oldest cousin and sibling set me up for a natural affinity for taking care of others. I babysat for teachers, bosses and family friends up until and throughout a portion of nursing school. Upon my departure from college I became a dental assistant for 3 years working with all ages, mostly preteen. I then found some work in personal caregiving and shortly after began my nanny career. I’ve been nannying/caregiving for almost 4 years and have worked closely with a few different families I’ve become extremely close with. With the children getting older I’m starting to look for a new family to help out. Don’t hesitate to send a message to get to know each other better 😊

A little bit about me

I have 16 years of experience. My passion is building strong, professional bonds with families to ensure their children receive the highest quality care and attention.

My journey began as a mother's helper in 2007. In 2011, after being mentored by a friend who was an experienced nanny, I began the first part of my career as a nanny. I worked at Whole Foods as a cashier from 2013 to 2018 while nannying part time on the side. In 2018, I left Whole Foods to make nannying my full time career and I've loved every minute of my journey.

I love getting to be in a child's world and set up activities that help them explore their world. I take my role very seriously, making a solid effort to ensure children safe and well cared for. I practice a Montessori-inspired, child-led approach to childcare! My goal is to build confidence in your child to succeed in their milestones at their own pace! I do not rush or pressure a child to reach milestones!
