Meet Janinne Gardner

I am delighted to work with newborn singles and twins, toddlers and preschoolers as well as all elementary ages. I have worked with older children who were middle school aged, along with a couple of high school boys and a girl. I have extensive experience as a substitute teacher in two school systems. Children have been a part of my life since I was a child and I am proud of my ability to relate to children of every age. I look forward to working with you. I will treat your children with love and affection while ensuring their health, safety and stability. If you find that we may be a good match, I welcome the opportunity to discuss your family’s needs.

Client Stories

We have known her for three and a half years and have continually been amazed by her patience, dedication and supreme competence in all matters of child care… Our children look forward to our trips away, because they know they will have so much fun with Janinne and the many activities and outings she arranges…we know that the children are happily engaged in fun, “good” activities (not marathon TV viewing) while we are gone, and that brings a peace of mind that is impossible to price tag!
