A little bit about me

I am an elementary teacher with a degree in elementary education. I have worked with children for 7+years. I have several references if needed as well. I love working with children of all ages but I am a sucker for the babies/infants. I love to do activities with the children and have recently been exploring a lot of sensory play and activities to help advance children where developmentally appropriate.

"Oriana was so dependable with our little one. She helped us with his sleeping habits, teaching him to sit up, use utensils, and more. She also communicated with us if there was ever any issues and that is paramount!!!"

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Janay, a proud mom to a 3-year-old with 5 years of paid nanny experience and over a decade in childcare. For the past 7 years, I worked as a Security Manager, but becoming a mother reminded me how much I love caring for children. I’m excited to return to nannying and seek a peaceful family who values a protective, energetic, and nurturing caregiver. I’m fully hands-on—I love singing, music, play, and creating fun learning experiences. Safety and stability are always my priority, and I partner with parents to encourage developmental growth and a loving environment. I provide full attention to each child’s needs and am not a “couch-sitting” nanny—I get involved, ensuring children feel secure, loved, and engaged. My goal is to bring peace of mind to parents while offering children a safe, joyful, and enriching space to thrive.

"Ana has been an exceptional nanny for our 15-month-old baby. From the first day, she showed a great ability to connect with him and attend to his needs. Her patience and tenderness made our baby feel comfortable and safe at all times. It's evident that Ana has a lot of experience and knowledge in caring for young children. We were impressed with her ability to maintain a structured routine, including naps, meals, and playtime, all while ensuring our child was happy and well cared for. Additionally, Ana was always punctual and professional. She communicated effectively with us, providing regular updates about our baby's day, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We especially appreciated her (I'll have a new number in a few days, feel free to ask Anna for it. We'll be happy to talk with you)"
