A little bit about me
Hi! I have been in childcare for six years now, I started off at VBS (Vacation Bible School) and that is when my love for children started. I have nannied for every age as young as 2 months old up until 14 years old.
I believe that being a nanny is an important job and it is my goal to make an impact on your child's life! I still remember my first nanny and how she impacted my life.
My hourly rate is higher than the average because I also include tutoring when I nanny. Education is important to me and I believe tutoring is something that strengthens the brain.
I am a senior studying Creative Writing and English. In my free time I enjoy, reading, writing, baking, and making friendship bracelets!

A little bit about me
I'm Jocelyn! I've been babysitting consistently for years now for 8+ families and I've been employed at my church for some additional childcare jobs, including working with foster/adopted kiddos who may think and behave differently. I am very energetic and create games in an instant, but if something is wrong I'm quick and serious to address it. I'm a current Moody Bible Institute student in the Intercultural Studies program. I love art, learning, cooking, playing ukelele and singing silly songs.
I just got married August 8th, 2026! It's been amazing.
Legend says I'm a Disney princess but I cannot confirm or deny.

A little bit about me
Responsible, creative, and full of energy—I’m the oldest of five siblings, so babysitting is second nature to me. My aunt runs a daycare, giving me hands-on experience with kids of all ages. I’ve cared for everything from dogs and cats to ferrets, snakes, and even spiders, so pets are no problem! I write songs and stories, play multiple instruments, and can whip up a decent meal. Need deep cleaning? I’ve got that covered too. Plus, I have reliable transportation, so getting to you is never an issue. Your kids (and pets) are in good hands!
