Working with Children
Along with my work in creative wellness, I have spent more than 16 years working professionally with children — from infants through teenagers. I began at 18 as a YMCA camp counselor, then moved into the Y’s School Age Child Care Program, where I eventually became an elementary school Site Supervisor. I spent up to six hours a day supporting kids before and after school, writing curriculum, facilitating creative lessons, and providing a safe, fun space where children could be themselves — all while earning my Bachelor's degree in Marketing from Penn State.
Throughout college, I continued nannying and also volunteered with children with autism and Down syndrome, helping them create art, build confidence, and find joy in self-expression and spirit.
After moving to Charlotte, North Carolina, I worked as a full-time nanny until transitioning into my career field as a marketing director and account manager at local ad agencies in 2016. In 2019 I decided to pursue my dreams as an entrepreneur in the marketing field and started Avant Marketing, LLC. During Covid, I managed Avant and also continued working part-time with families as a nanny and babysitter until my daughter was born in 2021.
Later, I joined the non-profit organization We Rock Charlotte, where I still teach music and art to children and adults. It was there that my passions for social justice and supporting people of all ages, genders, orientations, backgrounds, and neurotypes really came together. The mission and people of We Rock Charlotte are truly magical — resonating positive change throughout our city and beyond.
Being 2e (AuDHD), I understand how neurodivergent brains learn, communicate, and process emotion. I meet kids where they are — with patience, humor, structure, flexibility, and a lot of compassion. Kids trust me because I see them, hear them, and celebrate who they are, not just who the world expects them to be. (If I'm being completely real, I am also a total and complete goof-ball who is still a kid at heart.)

Joscelyne
Hi. I’m Joscelyne — musician, artist, healing + wellness coach, certified hypnotherapy practitioner, and founder of The Resonance Collective. Teaching and practicing these skills brings me so much joy, as well as the fulfillment of my purpose — to affect positive change by helping humanity learn to how to love and grow in mind, body, and spirit (even if I'm only starting here in Charlotte, NC). I believe in the healing power of creativity, self-awareness, and compassion. I believe that by nurturing creative drive and instilling confidence and wisdom in our youth, we will create ripple effect of growth that carries us long into the future.
I’ve always been someone who feels deeply, thinks differently, and searches for meaning below the surface. My path here wasn’t simple. I grew up in a turbulent environment, worked and paid my way through life from a young age, survived difficult relationships, and experienced losses that completely reshaped me — all the while having undiagnosed AuDHD.. I know what it’s like to live in survival mode, to feel misunderstood, to carry emotional weight, and to rebuild yourself more than once. I share this not for sympathy, but because it matters:
I understand what people are carrying — depression, grief, anxiety, masked neurodivergence, trauma, exhaustion, the fear of not being “enough,” or even "too much." I understand what it is like to be a 2e child, teenager, and adult who is seen as "really smart and talented, but really bad at managing their dysfunctional life."
I also understand resilience.
And transformation.
And what it means to finally find fulfillment in your life and become the person you wish you had.
Creativity has always been my anchor. Art and music helped me process the world long before I had words for what I was feeling. They weren’t hobbies — they were survival, expression, and identity. They taught me how to make meaning from chaos and how to stay connected to myself.
That foundation led me to the work I do today, and I couldn't be more grateful. I vow to help others love and grow through creativity, connection, compassion, and of course — resonance.
