"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."

"Jocelyn was very professional, caring and responsible. My child would have a full day planned. With day trips, outdoor activities, to art and crafts at home on rainy days. Jocelyn would send pictures and updates through out the day which made me feel such at ease. Jocelyn is still one of our favorite nanny."

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

With over three years of experience working in two Early Childhood Education (ECE) facilities and extensive part-time nannying, including overnight stays, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a caring touch to childcare. My background ensures that I provide a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for your children, fostering their growth and development. Whether it’s for regular care, part-time assistance, or overnight stays, I’m committed to meeting your family’s needs with professionalism and warmth. Let’s create a supportive and joyful experience for your little ones!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

With a degree in Computer Science, I bring a passion for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) activities to my role as a nanny. I tailor activities based on age, ensuring they are both engaging and educational. For younger children, this might include building blocks and simple nature explorations. Older children might enjoy science experiments, basic coding introductions, and math games. These activities foster curiosity, problem-solving skills, and creativity, setting a foundation for lifelong learning.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can thrive both emotionally and developmentally. It involves understanding each child's unique needs and providing consistent, loving care that supports their growth. Building trust with the children and their families is crucial, as it fosters open communication and ensures that the children feel secure and valued. My experience in Early Childhood Education and hands-on nannying has taught me the importance of patience, empathy, and adaptability in meeting the diverse needs of the children under my care. Ultimately, being a nanny is about making a positive, lasting impact on a child's life, helping them to grow confidently and happily.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my most cherished memories as a nanny was when one of the children I cared for innocently asked me, "Why don't you have a job?" It warmed my heart to realize that to them, my presence wasn't seen as just a job, but as something more—a trusted friend and companion. Knowing that I've built a bond where I'm not just a caregiver, but someone they enjoy spending time with and confiding in, makes every day as a nanny incredibly fulfilling and rewarding.
