About Janel

Nurturing young minds is a true passion of mine. With years of experience raising my own three children now ages 27, 24 & 19. I find immense joy in fostering children's growth and development, and making a positive impact on their lives. I am patient, creative, and friendly, and I love engaging children in outdoor sports, board games, swimming, and educational activities. I do have a college degree and worked as a Licensed Practical Nurse for many years in the areas of long term care, hospice, pediatrics, and special needs. In recent years, I worked at my youngest daughter's school as a paraprofessional in the special education department, which I found to be very rewarding. I believe in open communication with parents, and I will follow your preferred method for updates. I always follow the parents' lead when it comes to enforcing household rules. Ultimately, I'm looking to partner with a family where I can provide reliable care and build a lasting connection with your child.
