Miss Jocelyn & Miss Lina
Care Providers
Miss
Jocelyn
has
been
at
Colorful
Sunburst
for
7
years.
Throughout
this
time,
she
has
held
several
positions
from
food
services,
to
daycare
assistant,
infant
care
provider
and
so
on.
She
is
loved
by
the
children
as
is
anything
she
prepares
in
the
kitchen.
For
some
time,
many
people
have
referred
to
Colorful
Sunburst
as
the
daycare
with
the
“great
food.”
Well,
Miss
Joceyln
has
a
lot
to
do
with
that
claim.
Miss
Jocelyn
has
helped
to
care
for
children
from
3
months
and
on.
While
the
first
group
of
children
she
has
helped
to
care
for
and
raise
up
are
no
longer
present
with
us
time
does
not
stop
and
the
tasks
continue
to
help
the
newest
arrivals
into
our
programs.
Miss
Jocelyn
continues
in
her
role
and
does
so
extremely
well.
Miss
Jocelyn
is
a
mother
and
grand-
mother and loved by all.
Miss
Lina
has
cared
for
Colorful
Sunburst’s
youngest
children.
In
this
role
she
sees
to
the
health
and
welfare
of
our
babies.
Miss
Lina
brings
years
of
experience
in
caring
and
raising
children.
When
not
working
with
infants,
Miss
Lina
keeps
our
facilities
in
clean
conditions.
Having
12
children
on-site
does
bring
challenges
in
maintaining
cleanliness,
but
Miss
Lina
sees
to
it
that
all
is
well.
Miss
Lina
is
a
mom
and
grand-mother.
And
like
Miss
Jocelyn,
become
a
valued
member
of
Colorful
Sunburst
and
appreciated and loved by all.
