TLC Nanny of the Year….Meet Janice!

“We are so lucky to have Janice as a part of our family and our children’s lives.  She has nannied for our 15 month old twins since they were 3 months old and has been such a wonderful caretaker.  I really think she was born to do this job.  She has done many age appropriate, creative and fun things for them and for us.  The twins are so excited to see her when she arrives each morning.  She made them fabric books and even coordinating fabric animals.  She has worked with them with letters, words and numbers in fun games she has invented.  She made them foam shapes that they absolutely love.  It’s apparent that she adores them and that they adore her.  For Mother’s Day, she made me a foam potted flower from each baby using their hand and food prints cut out of colored foam with a handmade card.  She organizes their room, launders all of their clothes and does every dish.  She sends me pictures and videos of them while I’m at work and is always available to stay late or come early in a bind.  She works with them on trying new healthy foods and has really helped them stay on a good schedule.  She is open to suggestions and has many great ideas that she shares with us.  We had them in a 6 week daily swim lessons program, and she often went with us to early morning lessons.  She made sure the bag was packed with clean towels, swim diapers and a change of clothes every day and handled all the wet clothes after the lessons.  She just knows how to make life easier for all of us.  We are Catholic, and so is she.  She got the babies age appropriate books on saints and simple prayers.  She is just so thoughtful and does things for others so often that I think she sometimes forgets about herself.  I know this award would mean so much to her because she really does invest so much of herself into our family and children. ”   Employer, Melissa
