Hi, my name is Janneth! Originally from Mexico, I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, and I’ve been caring for children since I was 15 years old. Babysitting has always been more than just a job for me, it’s a beautiful way to connect with kids and be welcomed into their world through kindness, patience, and respect. I remember how challenging it was for my parents to find someone they could truly trust to care for me and my siblings. That’s why I take this role seriously and always show up with the same love and respect that my parents wished for us. I love spending time outdoors, doing puzzles, coloring, and listening to music. I’m also great with dogs, I’m happy to help with Spanish homework or practice! Your child’s safety, joy, and well-being are my top priorities, and I look forward to being someone you can count on.

Hi! My name is Tatiana. I’m a lead daycare teacher at a Reggio Emilia inspired center with a strong passion for working with children. I love creating fun, hands-on moments through arts and crafts, and I always aim to make every day both safe and enjoyable. At the moment, my main goal is to work as much as I can to save up so I can return to school, while continuing to do what I love supporting children’s growth, creativity, and happiness. I would be excited to get to know your family and be a positive, reliable part of your child’s life.

We were in a pinch and Tatiana stepped up to help out! Much appreciated!
