Booked by 24 families in Oakland, CA

Hi! I'm Jocelyn, a bilingual (English & Spanish) caregiver with over 5 years of hands-on babysitting experience I've worked with children from 2 months to 13 years old in a variety of settings, including in-home care, school programs, and nonprofit internship focused on food education for kids. I'm CPR and First Aid certified. I'm energetic, patient, and love connecting with each child on their level - whether that means getting down on the floor , reading the same book three times in a row, or taking stroller strolls to the park. I've cared for over 20 kiddos through Care. com and UrbanSitter and consistently nannied for families with toddlers, infants, and school-aged children. Most of the families I've worked with have had toddlers, so I'm experienced with nap time, meals, and outdoor play. I also enjoy helping older kids with homework and finding fun ways to connect. Working with children brings me joy - I love learning what makes each child unique. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting your family and providing the best care for your children!

I'm the proud mom of a kind, curious, and cuddly tiny human who fills my life with joy and inspiration. Plus, I bring over 20 years of professional experience as a child care provider, camp counselor, tutor, family/personal assistant, household manager. On top of that, I have a lifetime of hands-on experience as the eldest sister of eight siblings-including two sets of twins! My philosophy is simple: Children teach us as much as we teach them. They remind us to slow down, find beauty in the little things, ask questions, and embrace change. I strive to nurture curiosity, intellect, and imagination in a safe, compassionate environment. I integrate music and play into everyday activities while empowering children to grow with confidence, self-discipline, and self-respect. I adapt my approach to each child's unique needs and development, as well as to each family. My passion lies in working as a team to create a fun and engaging atmosphere that fosters learning and growth!

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
