Hello! My name is Janet. I've worked as a professional nanny in the desert for over 6 1/2 years, taking care of a few "amazing" families. I've raised 3 beautiful children of my own. I have worked helping children with multiple problems, and behavior disorders in a one-on-one setting or in a group. I enjoy doing art and music activities with children. We explore building kits, puzzles, and games. I'm always creating with them, so they have fun and have hands-on experiences. I also incorporate teaching tools while doing any activities. Reading with them is so important to me. I love being outside when the weather is nice; to play, take walks, swim, go to the park, ride bikes, and have a picnic. I also really like animals. I am extremely reliable, and safety is of the utmost importance. I'm great at keeping things clean and organized as well. Thank you!
We have had the privilege of having Janet as our nanny for the past two years, starting when our son was just a few months old. From the very beginning, she brought a level of warmth, professionalism, and genuine care that made it easy to trust her completely — and that trust has only deepened over time. She has joined us on family vacations and handled overnights with both kids (my other son is 5) always making us feel confident and at ease. What stands out most is how present and focused she is when she’s with the children. My son absolutely adores her — he lights up and eagerly counts down to every time he gets to spend with her. She keeps them active, ensures they eat well, and weaves in learning and creative activities in ways that feel natural and fun. The skills and confidence he’s developed over these two years are a testament to her thoughtfulness as a caregiver. Beyond childcare, Janet is organized, reliable, and always punctual — qualities that matter enormously when you’re trusting someone with your family. She helps keep our home running smoothly, pitches in on projects, and does it all with a friendly, positive attitude. If you are looking for someone who will love your children like her own while also bringing structure, creativity, and genuine professionalism to the role, look no further. We are so grateful she is part of our family!
