Hello, my name is Janine Reed. I am 62 yrs old and many years ago I received a BS in Child Development/Family Relations. Throughout the years since then I have taught in preschools and daycares; I have taught literacy in an elementary school; I have been a kindergarten teacher, and I have been a nanny. During that time I also raised my own daughter who is now 33. I have many years of experience with a variety of age groups, but my preference would be to work with infants through preschoolers. I am interested in babysitting as a way to earn some supplemental income as I head into my retirement years. My schedule is fairly flexible and I have a good amount of availability. I am also available to do overnight or multi-day sitting if that is something you are looking for. I am CPR certified, and can provide references Read more if needed. You will find me responsible and trustworthy and very tuned into your child’s needs!

We had such a wonderful experience with Janine! She watched our 15-month-old daughter for an evening in our hotel room while we were visiting Colorado for my sister's wedding. This was our first time leaving our daughter with a sitter who wasn't family, and first time using SitterCity. Janine immediately made us feel comfortable and confident she was in good hands. She went above and beyond by coming to meet us the day before, taking the time to learn our daughter's routine, and interacting with her so they could get comfortable with each other before the following evening. While we were away, she sent us photos and updates which we greatly appreciated. Janine is warm, attentive, thoughtful and clearly wonderful with children. We truly wish we lived closer so we could have her as a regular sitter! Any family would be lucky to have Janine in their corner. We can't recommend her highly enough.

Janine has been with our family for about 6 months. My three kids (7, 5, and 2) instantly connected with her and beg her not to go at the end of the day. She is communicative, safe, playful, creative, generous, flexible, and so caring. We feel so lucky to have her as a consistent presence and trustworthy caregiver for our children.

Janine has been a wonderful addition to our family and has taken care of our 11mo baby boy since 3mo, helping him with milestones every step of the way. My wife and I were a bit apprehensive when we first started our search for a sitter but Janine had put our minds at ease. She's incredibly loving and caring and knows how to deal with a velcro baby. Our son absolutely adores her and rarely cries in her presence. Could not have asked for a better sitter. Thanks Janine!

Janine has become a regular sitter for us and she's fantastic. She's responsive, on-time, courteous, has great availability, and most importantly, my 3.5 year-old loves her (and my dogs do, too!). I'd recommend her to any family looking for care.
