Janet spent the early part of her working career in print advertising, working for larger advertising agencies primarily in Los Angeles, but also in Dallas and Santa Fe. After leaving the advertising world, she took her considerable organizational and management skills into her own business as Your Ideal Assistant. Janet’s experience is as diverse as any client could need.

She always works to make a positive contribution to her work environment with a cheerful, cooperative, discreet demeanour. She is an energetic self-starter with diverse life experiences, who works well independently and welcomes the challenge of multiple responsibilities. Janet’s attitude is characterized by enthusiasm for variety in her job duties and an exemplary work ethic. She prides herself on being an excellent administrator, who always looks for more effective methods of time/cost-effectiveness and structure and does not hesitate to roll up her sleeves to get the job done. If Janet doesn’t already have the answer, she’ll find it!

An additional specialty for Janet is her many pets and house-sit clients of more than 15 years. Each client completes an Owner's Information Sheet with detailed instructions, kept in a file and updated as necessary. This gives clients complete peace of mind knowing that Janet will cover all the bases. She is so conscientious that the client won't see any sign of her being in the house! Pet clients include dogs, cats, horses, cattle, mini-donkeys and human-adapted wild pigs! See the Gallery for pics of her pet friends.
