About Jan

Experience: 10 yrs

I have loved little ones from a very early age, and have been caring for them for many years in every capacity from sister to auntie to babysitter to mama to grandma. I have been a nanny and postpartum doula for 20 years, and a sleep coach for several years. I have an AA degree in psychology where I studied early childhood development, but years of experience with many children of all ages have taught me more about the developmental ages and stages, and the unique and specific needs in each stage, than all my classroom learning ever did. When little ones are in my care, they receive my full attention; I relate with them on their level, treating them with kindness and respect, while establishing good, firm, loving boundaries. I work together with my families to provide what children need to grow into happy, healthy big people. I live my life with integrity, and in a loving and compassionate way. I consider myself honest, dependable, trustworthy, organized, respectful, and responsible.

To whom is may concern, I am writing to recommend Jan W for any nanny position you may have available. Jan has been an asset to our family for the past year, caring for our baby girl from the age of 7 months until she was nearly 2 years old. Not only did Jan provide exceptional care for our daughter, but her warmth, kindness, and genuine love for children was immediately evident. She diligently managed tasks such as laundry, light toy cleanup, and organizing activities both inside and outside the house. One of the qualities we appreciate most about Jan is her proactive approach to childcare. She was always one step ahead, anticipating our daughter's needs and ensuring her safety, comfort, and happiness. We felt complete peace of mind knowing that our daughter was in Jan's capable and loving hands. Furthermore, Jan demonstrated good communication skills, keeping us informed about our daughter's daily activities, milestones, and any concerns that arose with a daily log. In summary, any family would be fortunate to have her as their nanny, and we are confident that she will continue to positively impact the lives of children wherever she goes. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further information. Thank you for considering Jan for the nanny position. Jessie
