Recent reference

"Jocelyn has watched our children on an as needed basis for several years starting when my oldest was about 3 and my youngest was about 1. I am very particular with who provides unsupervised care to our children when they are not with me, and she is always at the top of my very short call list when we need a sitter. She has provided overnight care and has also driven them to activities. Not only is Jocelyn great with kids, but she is also responsible, trustworthy, compassionate and able to stay calm even under stressful situations, which always reassured me that my children were in good hands. Jocelyn will follow your instructions exactly, and is familiar with food allergies and aversions. She provides fun activities and is very hands on and engaging with children."

A little bit about me

Dear Family,
I am a punctual, kind and experienced Nanny.
I enjoy cooking and will help with making kids their meals and snacks
as well as light housekeeping.
I am a good driver and will help by driving kids safely to school and sports activities as well as libraries, museums, aquariums , playgrounds and occasional special treats like bowling or movies!

I think it’s important to encourage kids to have good manners and to learn kindness and respect towards others.

If the parents would like, I’m happy to also eventually teach kids responsibility and to help them learn to do age appropriate chores as part of a family.

I am a dedicated and experienced Nanny and I genuinely enjoy the work I do and consider it a partnership with the parents.
I am dependable and adjust to meet a family’s needs and schedule.
I’m looking forward to another great year and having a positive impact on a family!

Thank you for considering me for this important role with your family-

Sincerely Yours,
Robin
