This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 10 yrs
I'm new to Care. com, but not new to childcare! With 20 years of experience working with children, I've had the privilege of 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 10 yrs and have Special Education experience. The majority of my experience is with kids between 1-6yrs old. I believe in an environment that encourages learning, fun, imagination, and social development all without screens! I'm happy to cook dinner, clean, run errands, 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 multiple professional development trainings every year to keep updated on best practices, such as, safe sleeping, play based learning, and social/emotional development.

We recently started having Janelle care for our 14 month old boy twice a week . She has been absolutely wonderful and a fantastic teacher for him! I couldn't be happier with her and can already tell the leaps in development that our son has made with her! She definitely knows everything about children, and even brings her own toys to match his developmental stage.
