About Joslyn

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

As a former preschool/kindergarten teacher, I bring a wealth of experience. I prioritize safety while making sure to provide fun and age-appropriate educational care. I have 10 years of childcare experience (including infant care). I'm a great cook, artistic, musical and outdoorsy. I enjoy encouraging children to use their imaginations to build creativity, practice problem-solving to develop critical thinking, and learn new skills that will benefit them in school and beyond. I have a certificate in child-rearing and am currently studying child development. My strengths include patience, kindness, organization and responsibility, and providing a reliable structure for children to feel safe and develop positive behaviors. I believe children need compassion, gentle guidance, consistent structure, and of course, fun!

Joslyn is an absolute dream. We were visiting Ojai for 2 weeks for a work trip, and our 8-month-old had never had a regular babysitter before. Josyln approached our baby with intuition, patience, imagination and play. She is always prompt, extremely flexible with our family schedule, and constantly communicative. With her expertise in childcare and her fascinating LIFE experience combined, I can't recommend better, more capable hands to care for your little one. We only wish we lived closer so she could be our regular babysitter! Don't hesitate--reach out and book her before some other lucky family does.
