A little bit about me

Hello!
I’m Jocelyn, a professional nanny with nearly 10 years of experience caring for infants and toddlers, including three successful nanny shares. I truly enjoy supporting babies’ growth through nurturing routines, developmental play, and gentle structure.

Families describe me as:
• Reliable, patient, and warmhearted
• CPR certified and fully vaccinated
• Bilingual. Spanish is my native language, which I love incorporating naturally through songs, books, and conversation
• Dedicated to maintaining a clean, organized, and safe environment for daily routines

I’m currently available for a full time position, as the families I’ve been working with are transitioning to daycare. My rate is $35/hour for one baby/toddler.

I’d love to connect and am happy to schedule a phone or video call! Excellent references are available upon request.

Warmly,
Jocelyn
