About Josephine

Experience: 8 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I have 8 years of experience. I can help with just about anything and will definitely keep your child entertained! I love animals and could help with housekeeping or meal prep. I have worked as a daycare worker, a behavior technician, and a caregiver. I also have lots of experience babysitting for various ages. I graduated from Ferris with a psychology degree and am pursuing my doctorate in occupational therapy in Grand Rapids. I am interested in pursuing a career in pediatric OT and I can provide the best care for your child while integrating elements I have learned in school to aid in their development and learning. I'm 22 years old and have reliable transportation.

My husband and I had the pleasure of hiring Josephine to care for our two young daughters (aged 10mo and 2yrs when Ms. Jo started with us), and we couldn't be more grateful for the incredible care she provided. From the moment Josephine entered our home, it was evident that she possessed a natural gift for nurturing and connecting with children. Her warm demeanor and genuine love for kids immediately put both us and our daughters at ease. Throughout her time with us, Josephine demonstrated unwavering patience, kindness, and attentiveness, creating a safe and loving environment where our children thrived. Josephine's professionalism and reliability were exceptional. She maintained clear communication with us regarding our children's routines, activities, and any important updates. Her commitment to our daughters' well-being was evident in the thoughtful and creative ways she engaged them in educational and stimulating activities, tailored to their individual interests and developmental stages. One of the qualities that truly stood out about Josephine was her proactive approach to childcare. She anticipated our daughters' needs and was quick to adapt to any changes in their schedules or preferences. Whether it was organizing fun outings or providing emotional support, Josephine went above and beyond to ensure our daughters felt loved and cared for in every way. Above all, Josephine's genuine love and dedication to our children were unmistakable. She formed a deep bond with them, earning their trust and affection from day one. As parents, it was incredibly reassuring to see our daughters flourish under Josephine's care, knowing they were in the best possible hands. We wholeheartedly recommend Josephine to any family seeking a compassionate, trustworthy, and dedicated caregiver. She is truly amazing, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her as part of our lives. Thank you, Josephine, for your outstanding service and for making such a positive impact on our family!
