Hi, I’m Janel! I’m originally from the beautiful island of Saint Lucia in the West Indies. I’m a certified teacher with credentials in both General and Special Education. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Special Education, an Associate’s degree in Teacher Education, and a Master’s degree in General and Special Education. I'm also currently pursuing a second Master’s in Educational Technology. During the school year, I work as a full-time teacher. Outside of the classroom, I’ve been babysitting for over 25 years, caring for children ranging from newborns to teenagers up to 14 years old. Babysitting has always been a true passion of mine. Over the years, I’ve developed close, lasting relationships with the families I’ve worked with many of whom I’ve supported during overnights and family vacations. My role as a babysitter goes far beyond just watching the kids. I’ve helped with school drop-offs and pick-ups, taken Read more children to doctor’s appointments, sports practices and games, organized outdoor activities, prepared healthy meals, helped with morning and bedtime routines, gone on fun library or park outings, and even supported with tidying up and encouraging good habits. I truly enjoy being a part of children’s lives and creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for them to thrive in.
