This is a criminal background check required for all caregivers before they can message families.
Experience: 22 yrs
I have over 20 yrs of experience working with children in a variety of capacities. It's been a privilege supporting families and providing reliable childcare and educational opportunities over the years. As a parent of 2 teenagers I understand the joys and responsibilities of raising kids! I worked in Early Learning for 12 yrs before becoming a nanny and I have Special Education experience as well. I've been hired by 4 families through Care. com and each have given me a very positive review. Most of my experience is with kids between 0-5yrs old. I believe in an environment that encourages FUN learning, independence, imagination, and social/emotional development, all without screens! I'm able to help with light duties (dishes, laundry, dog walking, etc). I want to be a blessing to your family in more ways than one! I renew my CPR cert and participate in professional development to keep updated on best practices, such as play based learning, safe-sleeping, and emotional development.
Janelle is the perfect blend of caregiver, teacher, and developer. Our daughter’s development was dramatic and quick. Janelle is great at listening to what you want to teach and instill in your child as well as offer suggestions based on her many years of experience. You will not find a better caregiver.
