About Janie

Janie cared for our one year old in our home from August 2025-June 2026. She was always actively engaged with our son, and she would be right there in the floor playing with him and her child who attended with her. “The boys” learned valuable lessons such as sharing toys and “gentle touch” by playing together, and that was guided by Janie’s even-temper and watchful eye. I always knew my son was safe with her - physically and emotionally. She handled toddler tantrums with grace and empathy, and she never complained of his big feelings. Janie would keep me informed throughout the day of how my son was doing, and I always appreciated a picture of my smiling, happy baby while at work. Janie was reliable and had dependable transportation. Even through a very icy and snowy winter, she showed up for us. If there was an illness between her or her son, she would inform me ahead of time and kept the health of both our boys at top of mind. Janie is engaged, attentive, helpful, empathetic, kind, and a good communicator. She is dependable and able to stay calm and gentle no matter what kind of day our Toddler was having.
