A little bit about me
Hi My Name Is Jocelyne I have been working with children professionally for about 13 years now. I work at a childcare center full time which I absolutely love doing. I'm new here to nannylane and can't wait to start to get more experience working with children of different backgrounds I enjoy reading, art & crafts, and animals. I hope to eventually have my own daycare buisness someday that welcomes children of all ages I also speak Spanish and teach it at the center I work at.

A little bit about me
Hello, my name is Deborah Danielle Denney. I am 38 years old and I currently am A Caregiver for A 14 year old Autistic boy named Lance. Though I spend a lot of time with Lance, waking him and getting him ready for school, then driving him to school/back- I have a lot of free time that I would much rather spend attending to someones’ needs. The less time I have to spend on myself, the better. I’m guilty of frivolous spending or being an unpaid taxi. Time is money, in my mind.(Spend wisely)
* Unfortunately, I must share the fact that my past has some mistakes and is still haunting me. My husband passed away in 2017 from a brain aneurysm, suddenly, and when I lost him- I somewhat lost myself. I turned to my family for Support and Love and they were doing drugs. So I too began to have an addiction. I’m now 9 years clean and sober and I take part in meetings, and have A sponsor. Proving my Character as it is today is all I can do.
Thank you for your time and hopefully, your understanding.
