Although Suburban Sitters is closing, our sitters are continuing to follow their amazing passions. Congratulations on a rewarding job and an excellent interview, Jocelyn! We are so grateful for what you do.
M E E T J O C E L Y N!
Jocelyn is an Inclusion Companion with us, supporting kids in our partner agencies’ programs throughout the year. Read on for Jocelyn’s great interview!
How long have you been with NSSRA, and why did you apply? I have been with NSSRA for three years. I applied because I loved working with kids who have special needs, and a friend of mine suggested that I apply for NSSRA and the rest is history!
Tell us something unique about yourself. I am one of ten kids in my family, the sixth in order.
What surprised you about your role when you first started? I was surprised with how many new things I learned! Every program I learn something new and I love it!
What’s challenging about your job? Probably the most challenging (but also one of my favorite things about this job) is getting to know new kids and learning how to best support them in their activities.
What’s your favorite memory so far? I have so many amazing memories but probably some of my favorites were when I got to help out with the young performance shows. I loved getting to be up on the stage with the kids and see them shine in shows like Aladdin, and High School Musical.
What advice would you have for someone who’s just joined ? This is the best and probably the most rewarding job you can have! You are going to have so much fun and learn so many new skills. Don't be afraid to ask for help and admit it when you don't have the answers, there are so many people that are willing to give you tips and ideas.
Thanks, Jocelyn, for helping so many kids shine through Inclusion! ✨
