“Our daughter absolutely loved Tinycare...highly recommend for any family looking for a small, intimate and nurturing environment for their little one.”
“They combine the intimacy of a home daycare setting with the experience and support of a large center.”
“Throughout this crisis, they’ve been incredibly proactive in their communication and their plans are driven by data and science.”

Jocelin
Hi my name is Jocelin and I am the Assistant Teacher at Bernal Heights Toddlers. A little background about myself is I started out babysitting when I was 16 and I have worked with all different types of families of all creeds ! I enjoy getting to know different families and their needs for their child(ren) to grow and learn. I am a first generation high school graduate and I will be the first in my family to graduate college, as I am still in college trying to get my degree in Psychology and Child Development. I’ve also worked as a Behavioral Therapist and helped many children with special needs. I have a passion for helping others and bringing joy everywhere I go. I am very detail oriented, patient and resilient. I would love for you to be a part of my journey and also become part of your journey as well !
