Janelle has been my daughter's educator for a while now and we are so grateful to have her in our daughter's life! My daughter always comes home with a smile and is very talkative about her day. She enjoys being with a smaller group of children than your average childcare, with children of different ages and undertaking different activities including going to playgroup. Janelle is a great educator and role model who is really in tune with the children's needs. She is easy to communicate with, and listens and accommodates your preferences, particularly around nap times. We highly recommend Janelle, and really feel part of her family daycare family!

Janelle is a wonderful educator who is in tune with children's needs. Our son has been attending her family daycare for a while now and enjoys all of the different activities and environments that Janelle organises (eg sensory play, outings, playgroups). We appreciate her attentive care and updates on how his days are going. She has also accommodates our preferences (around sleep, feeding and nappies). Family daycare is a great model which allows children of differing preschool age to interact with each other and form an attachment to one main carer - both factors which were important to us when choosing child care.

So welcoming and understanding and patient. You know it’s the right choice when your little one is excited to see her! So glad I found Janelle!

Our son started attending care with Janelle at one year of age and we can confidently say she's played a strong role in helping him grow and develop as a happy, healthy toddler. As quite a sociable boy, he loves being around children of all ages and the friendly and welcoming environment Janelle creates is just perfect. He has clearly benefited from being around the older children and has learned new behaviours and skills from their modelling. At all stages Janelle has checked in with us, discussed how he's developing or any challenges he might be having and has tailored her care for him accordingly (such as introducing climbing equipment to help him get more confident with his motor skills). We really feel she understands our son and what makes him unique. Turning up to Janelle's house you feel part of the family and as first-time parents this has made the introduction to childcare as stress-free as possible. We couldn't recommend her enough.

I couldn't reccomend Janelle more. Janelle has cared for my son for over a year now she treats him as she would her own children. Janelle has played a vital role in helping my son learn and grow. My son can be a sensitive little sole at times and Janelle always makes sure he is comfortable and feels safe in his surroundings. He absolutely adores her and loves spending time with her. Janelle is easy going and very flexible with helping out when needed. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my little ones.

Janelle has cared for our 3 daughters over the space of 10 years as our nanny. She consistently arrived on time, bright, cheerful and willing to do whatever was asked or required to care for our children to the highest standard. She took a personal approach with each of our children, ensuring their physical and emotional wellbeing and safety was paramount at all times. She has never raised her voice, always been kind, gentle, understanding, engaging and patient and has taught all of us so much. Janelle implemented a clear routine for each of the children, which was age-appropriate, and provided them with the structure to guide them through each day. Janelle has always encouraged our children to explore, learn, read, express themselves, be creative and ask questions. She has a great sense of humour. Our children simply adore her. The bond they all had and still have with her is beautiful. Janelle planned holiday activities, visits to the library, museum etc., play dates and other creative projects for the children to enjoy. Janelle always communicated clearly how each day had gone and any important messages (such as medication given and dosages etc.) were verbally communicated and written to ensure there were no mistakes. She has upheld the values and household rules/guidelines/boundaries that we have set as parents. Janelle consistently demonstrates values of respect, kindness, compassion, understanding, trustworthiness, reliability and patience in all that she does. She is loyal, honest, hard working and dedicated. Janelle is punctual and well organized. We have never needed to provide Janelle with any negative feedback or criticism. She has consistently performed outstandingly well and beyond our expectations as our nanny in caring for our family. We can highly recommend her for caring for your precious child/ren at Windermere!

I would absolutely highly recommend Janelle. She looked after my son for nearly 2 years. She treated my son like part of her family and he adored going into her care. He developed a lovely relationship with Janelle and her children. I appreciated leveraging Janelle’s wisdom and experience in all facets of my sons development and was comforted by Janelle’s approach to working with me to ensure we provided the same boundaries around play, discipline, manners and expectations. I trust Janelle implicitly and found she was always reliable.
