My Summary
About Me
My name is Janis. I’m 34 years old and a mother of two — a 13-year-old and an almost 6-year-old who’s currently obsessed with Minecraft.
I’m confident navigating public transport and Uber, and I know Windsor, Maidenhead, and Bracknell well. While I’m still learning to drive, I’m reliable and punctual.
My background is in customer service and administrative support, giving me experience in structured and professional environments. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, baking, reading, painting, outdoor adventures with my children, and meditating on scripture.
Motherhood, especially the second time around, has been deeply rewarding. I’ve grown in patience, adaptability, and understanding — all qualities that shape how I care for children. I value routine and structure, and I approach caregiving with a mindset I call FUN: Fairness, Understanding, and Nurturing.
I’m happy to follow specific instructions and tailor my approach to each child’s needs. If you’d like to know more, I’d be glad to connect over a warm brew and answer any questions you may have.

I had the absolute pleasure of having Janis care for my son, and I truly cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, she was warm, professional, and incredibly attentive to my child's needs. She created a nurturing and structured environment that helped him feel safe, happy, and engaged while in her care.
Janis has a natural gift with children—she was patient, creative with playtime and learning activities, and always in tune with how he was feeling.
Most importantly, my son absolutely adored her. Knowing he was in such capable and loving hands gave me tremendous peace of mind.
If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and genuinely passionate about childcare, Janis is truly exceptional.

Thank you, MummyAmi,
I’m absolutely over the moon to hear your lovely feedback—thank you so much for taking the time to share it!
It was a genuine pleasure caring for your amazing little boy. He’s such a bright spark—curious, clever, and full of delightful surprises. I found myself not only laughing throughout our time together but also learning from him. You’ve clearly done an incredible job nurturing such a wonderful soul.
I truly look forward to the next time I get to see you both again. Until then, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind review.
NannyJae is really the best babysitter ever. We miss her so much! She bonded straight away with our little one and they had loads of fun at their playtimes, with playing in and outdoor, singing reading vista on the playground. As well our baby was in the best hands for night time babysitting with her. We sadly moved but hope to see her again. Lots of love&hugs from us xx

Thank you for this lovely review Nici, I miss you and your sweet little one very much as well. One of the best family’s I’ve had so far truly loved helping you out with your little one. Pass my hellos to the pups and fingers and toes crossed to seeing you soon xx
We were travelling from overseas to the UK for a wedding. Nanny Jae watched our 18month old daughter for two evenings. My daughter bonded with Jae immediately. I did not have any concerns with my daughter in Jae's care. She was responsive via text, she sent photo updates, she was able to manage challenging behaviours and emotional outbursts. I wish I lived closer to Jae so I could use her services more often.

For the lovely review your little one was and is a credit to you, she was well behaved and we had a great deal of fun. I would have been over the moon if we lived close I miss you all and hope to see you again soon.
Thank you again.
nannyJae is brilliant. She is reliable and dependable and goes out of her way to accommodate our last minute requests for school run help and holiday support. She is simply super duper as our child says.

Thank you so much for the kind words I absolutely loved having your little one with us, she has a very wonderful spirit.
Janis is an absolute superstar. My son loves going to her after school, she is always prompt for school pick ups and keeps me updated throughout the day with pictures of their adventures to the local parks. She provides a safe, clean, warm, and most importantly fun environment and I know my son is well taken care of with her.

Thank you Adriana it’s always a pleasure taking care of your little one he is so well behaved. I appreciate the great bond we have.
Thank you again.
Janis has been helping me and my husband with my one year old twins on and off from October 2020, and we recently asked her to help us in the evening on a permanent basis. She sometimes brings her two children, which we welcome, and my boy twin is in love with Janis’s daughter so we are planning a wedding :-D She helps me feed them and change them for bed, she read books to them and sings songs, they enjoy her company. She also helps me tidy up the room and wash the children’s dishes and does it very well. I only had experience with Janis in a mother’s help role (so her helping me with the children in my presence). All in all, I thoroughly recommend Janis.
