My name is Jocelyn I’m new to nannylane, I love taking care of kids, I would always take care of my little cousins, new born and age 4 & 8, I would always make sure they are okay knowing one of my cousins has heart problems and I always loved spending time with her and her siblings making sure they are happy. I’m 17 years old turn 18 in October, I’m responsible and respectful for my age. My last job was at Shiekh shoes at southcenter mall as a sales associate. The pay wasn’t enough for me to pay for my college classes and to help my family out with rent. I’m more than happy to answer question and to be a nanny!

A little bit about me
I have over four years of childcare experience working with children from 11 months to 12+ years old, and I genuinely enjoy creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. I focus on building strong, meaningful connections by meeting children where they are and engaging them through games, crafts, reading, and creative play based on their individual interests. In addition to babysitting and nannying, I serve as a Sunday school teacher at my church, where I manage classrooms, plan structured activities, and foster a positive, respectful environment. I am patient, attentive, and reliable, and I’m happy to assist with meal prep and light childcare-related cleaning to help keep daily routines running smoothly. Families can trust that I treat every child with care, respect, and enthusiasm.

Nanny Amy
"Amy made a natural connection quickly with our 4 year old son and has been our go-to babysitter for 1 year and a half now. She engages with him and keeps him well entertained. He is not quick to trust new people, so we were ready for her to be challenged. She handled him very well. She is trustworthy and takes her job seriously. We recommend her to everyone!"
- Sonya
Nanny Amy
"I am still working with Amy but I wanted to let everyone know how highly I would recommend her. She has done overnights with my 3 year old special needs son, and then took care of my one week old baby over multiple overnights when I had to unexpectedly go back to the hospital - she handled everything perfectly and is the only one I trust with kids now!"
