Hi, I’m Janessa! I’m 29 with over 10 years of childcare experience, including 9+ years as a professional nanny. I’ve worked with children of all ages, with a strong focus on infants and toddlers. I’ve held three long-term nanny positions (2–5 years each), transitioning only when children started school or families relocated. I’m currently with a family I’ve been with for 5 years, now part-time as the kids are in school. I provide developmentally focused care and am experienced with gentle parenting, baby-led weaning, sleep routines, minimal screen time, and planning engaging activities, playdates, and outings. I’m also comfortable driving children to school and activities and have a clean driving record. I have extensive experience in busy, high-stress households and understand the importance of reliability, discretion, and flexibility. I’m confident managing the day-to-day independently, taking initiative, and anticipating family needs. Families describe me as nurturing, hands-on, and highly engaged. I Read more value building strong, lasting relationships and supporting both children and parents in a thoughtful, professional way.
