This is a criminal background check required for all caregiver before they can message families.
Experience: 15 yrs
I have over 20 years of experience working with children in a variety of capacities. However, being a nanny is my favorite! It's been a privilege supporting families and providing reliable childcare and educational opportunities. As a parent of 2 teenagers, I understand the joys and responsibilities of raising children, but miss having little ones around. I've worked in Early Learning for the last 11 yrs and have Special Education experience as well. The majority of my experience is with kids between 1-6yrs 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 such as, dishes, running errands, dog walking, etc. I want to be a blessing to your family in more ways than one! I renew my CPR certification every 2 years and participate in professional development trainings to keep updated on best practices, such as play based learning and emotional development.
We highly recommend Janelle for your babysitter or nanny! She is very caring and present with our daughter. She brings her own toys which makes things fun and new. My daughter always asks for her to come back. We are SO glad we found her.
