Experience: 10 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.
Update after having Janelle care for my son for 6 months (ages 14 - 20 months) - she is the best. We are extremely lucky to have her expertise and amazing positive energy to help my son grow. She makes everything fun for him while still focusing on learning. She's helped him learn new words, sign language, colors, shapes, and songs! She always mixes things up so he doesn't get bored and always makes him laugh! He absolutely loves her, as do we.
