Babysitter - JOCELYN B. (User #3645)

My babysitting career began with a Safe Sitter course taught by registered nurses when I was in junior high.  Since then I've enjoyed positive and rewarding relationships with numerous families.  I nannied in and after college as a major source of income- and satisfaction- and then entered the professional working world as a fundraiser/organizer in the Jewish community.  I've also worked for antiwar and labor organizations, and taught religious school, led preschool Sabbath services, and advised synagogue youth groups.  Previously I also worked as a camp counselor, and any opportunity I have to be with kids, I pounce! 

I've just returned from 6 months in India where I volunteered with NGOs (including one which sets up child care centers on construction sites for the workers' children) and traveled, and now I'm back in the Bay Area.  While I'm looking for a longer term professional position, I'm very interested in short term or one-shot babysitting/nanny gigs in the meantime.  I'm energetic, outgoing, caring, a joker but also serious, and very responsible.  I love to cook, do crafts, read, put on plays, dance, and get outside for nature walks.
