A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Olanike Oshoffa, but most people call me Jalynn. I’m 18 years old and currently enrolled in college studying dental hygiene. I’m responsible, patient, and very attentive—especially when it comes to children.
I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, fun, and caring environment for kids while making sure parents feel comfortable and confident leaving their little ones in my care. I’m reliable, organized, and always happy to help with routines, playtime, or homework support.
I look forward to getting to know your family and being someone you can trust!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I began babysitting at a young age by caring for my younger sister, which helped me develop patience, responsibility, and a strong understanding of children’s daily needs. As I grew more confident, I transitioned into freelance, paid babysitting, caring for children of different ages for various families.
Through this experience, I’ve handled responsibilities such as supervising playtime, preparing simple meals, helping with homework, following bedtime routines, and ensuring a safe, calm environment at all times. Babysitting has taught me how to be attentive, adaptable, and dependable while building trusting relationships with both children and parents.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy keeping children engaged through fun, creative, and age-appropriate activities. This includes playing games, doing arts and crafts, reading stories, helping with homework, and encouraging imaginative play. I also enjoy outdoor activities like walks or playground time when appropriate, as well as calming routines such as bedtime stories and quiet time.
My goal is always to make sure children feel safe, happy, and comfortable while having fun and staying engaged.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is creating a safe, loving, and trusting environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. When kids feel secure and cared for, it allows them to grow, learn, and have fun while parents feel confident and at ease.

My experience with special needs children...

Unfortunately I haven’t yet been introduced to care for special needs children.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite moments was watching a child I cared for grow more confident over time. Whether it was mastering a new routine, finishing homework with pride, or opening up during playtime, seeing their progress and knowing I played a small role in it was incredibly rewarding.
