A little bit about me
Hi!
I am currently looking for a new family to help. I have to sadly say goodbye to my current lovely kiddo who is headed to preschool. I have done a mix of gardening, motherhood and a nanny for 20+ years.
I enjoy doing art, music, and connecting with nature. I have had personal and professional caregiving experience with children of all ages. I am also comfortable working with special needs kids and have references to show experience with this. I am confident going on adventures around town such as story times, Omsi, zoo,plays etc.
I will provide a safe, structured, kind space for them. I am CPR/First Aid certified and fully vaccinated. I have 2 daughters age 13 and 20 and hope to find a good fit so I can still help pick up from school. My happy place is when I'm with children, and I am hoping to meet my next best buddies.

"Elfina was our son’s nanny for over a year and a half. Our son has some special needs and she is amazing with him. We cannot say enough good things about her. She is reliable, caring and creative. She took our son on all sorts of adventures around town! I never once worried about my son when he was in Elfina’s care. Any parent knows that there is enough to worry about with kids and to have childcare that you trust is invaluable. My husband and I routinely still talk about how INCREDIBLY lucky we are to have had Elfina. Any family would be lucky to have her care for their children."

"Abigail walked into my household on day 1 with such a calming and nurturing presence. She made my kids feel safe and encouraged learning while maintaining a playful behavior. My oldest daughter saw Abigail as a big sister figure and if it weren’t for my kids growing up so fast, we’d still have her around everyday. Can’t recommend a better nanny!"

"Stephanie has always been an amazing person when it comes to children. My son absolutely loves her. They would go to the park, find something fun in the community to do, reading, homework, and she did make sure that any chores he needed to do was done before I got home. Any times that she was not watching my son he would always ask for her because she was 'the fun auntie'. If there are any worries or concerns before hiring her, they would soon be gone. She has training in being a caregiver, CPR, has worked with some special needs, and she was on top of everything as we learned about my son's seizure disorder. I would totally suggest Stephanie for a nanny."

"Al worked as the sitter for our elementary school parent group during our in-person meetings. They would watch a large group of young children in our school gym for a couple hours once a month. They were very reliable, had a great attitude, and came with lots of ideas for games and projects. The kids had lots of fun and loved them! All the parents were happy with Al. I would definitely hire them again."

A little bit about me
Hi! I'm Janna. I recently graduated from the University of Tulsa with a degree in Exercise & Sports Science and hope to attend PA school in the future. I have experience caring for children ranging from 1-12 years old and absolutely love working with kids.
I'm a big believer that childhood should include plenty of time outside, getting creative, and having fun. Whether that's crafts, games, baking, homework help, trips to the park, or spontaneous dance parties in the kitchen, I love helping kids stay engaged and enjoy being kids.
I'm also happy to help with meal preparation, household organization, errands, transportation, tutoring, and other family support needs. My goal is to be someone both parents and children can count on while making everyday life run a little more smoothly.

"Janna has been absolutely a dream! I wasn't sure what to expect when hiring a nanny. Janna blew any expectation I had away! She is kind, patient and my girls have so much fun with her. She makes getting them ready for school special by making fun breakfasts, doing their hair so cute and taking them on special treat days before school. My girls are so sad that she is moving but we support her on her journey and hope the best for her. Janna also worked in our home as kind of a home manager. She helped keep our home clean and organized after she took the kids to school. She is amazing at her job. She pays attention to detail and is very organized! Janna goes above and beyond. She is leaving big shoes to fill! Any family will be beyond lucky to have her as their nanny and part of the family!"
