Find a babysitter in Oakland, CA

Hi! I’m Jocelyn, a student at UC Irvine with experience working with children in a variety of settings. As a former swim instructor, I’ve worked with kids of all ages, helping them build confidence while always putting safety first. Through that role, I received CPR training and was previously CPR certified, giving me a strong foundation in emergency response. I’ve also volunteered at an elementary school, where I supervised and supported children in a positive and encouraging environment, and participated in youth programs that strengthened my leadership and communication skills. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. Whether we’re playing games, doing crafts, reading stories, or spending time outdoors, I strive to create a fun, safe, and caring environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. I understand how important trust is when choosing a caregiver, and I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and someone families can count on. I look forward to meeting your family and providing a fun, safe, and positive experience for your children!

Working with children brings me a lot or joy and I’ve been in childcare and education jobs for the past eight years, including as a science teacher in schools, a summer camp counselor, and of course as a babysitter!

If needed, I can drive for dropoffs/pickups. I am also a nationally registered Emergency Medical Technician!
