My name is Jan, I have many years of experience in care giving & am a professional baby sitter & nanny. My families fondly refer to me as the "Modern Day Mary Poppins"!

Another commitment was to two girls 4yr & 14 mo old that ended 2/2022. The 4 yr old is special needs w/ ODD. I recently cared for a beautiful 6 month old baby girl until 12/2023. During that year contract she was recovering from skull surgery & now that she is fully recovered, the decision was made for her to begin daycare. My most current commitment was to adorable TWIN 17 month old boys who I’ve been with for a year. They were 6 months when I began to care for them. My contract ended 3/2025.
