A little bit about me

I grew up in Oakland and went to school at UCSC then stayed in the area afterwards working in the outdoor education field. I find it special for be an extra adult in a child’s life that they can go to for help and learn from in addition to their parents. I really enjoy art, nature, cooking, singing, and going on adventures! I am very responsible, organized and communicative. I’d love to meet you to see how my experience and skills can fit you and your families needs!

A little bit about me

Hi There!
Thank you for taking the time to read a bit about me! As you can see from my profile, I am not only experienced with childcare but it is my place where work does not exist. They say if you find what you love to do you will never work again, being with young children brings that to me.

Hi families! My name is Jozette and I am a 21 year old female looking for 2-4 days of helping out a family with their children and other responsibilities needed. I am an online student at Grand Canyon University majoring in Early Childhood Education in hopes of becoming a Child Life Specialist. I have always loved being around kids and making them feel safe and wanted while also having fun with them. I have 5+ years of experience, with my most professional ones being an after school teacher at an elementary school or being a daycare counselor at a resort (as well as nanny gigs over the years). I would love to care for your children if suitable! I hope to hear all about you soon :)

A little bit about me

Hi. I'm a mature mother of 3, my oldest daughter is grown and has children of her own, I have 15 year old twins at home, so I'm comfortable with all ages.
I've been working in child care my whole life.
I've worked in many daycares and worked many nanny jobs up until I ran a small in home daycare in Portland for the last 3 years. You can contact all of those families upon request.
• I have 30 years of experience working with children.
•I am CPR certified and CBR enrolled.
•I can provide many references.

Recently moved back to southern Oregon because it's my favorite place to be and I'm looking for part time work (babysitting) through the summer until I start a daycare or nanny share in Grants Pass in the Fall.
