About Janice

I joined Town & Country Pediatrics in September 2012. I enjoy working with our staff, and I just love to see all the little children and their growing families.

I grew up in Chicago. I now live in a small southern suburb. If I had my choice I would live in the country.

I’ve been married to my husband (Ernest Sr.) for 39 years. We met when we were 16 years old at a skating rink. We have two children (Erica and Ernie Jr.) and out of my children unions, I have 4 grand loves (Ernie III, Georgina, Chad, and Canon).

My grand loves are my everything. Every free moment that I have I spend it with them. We do arts and crafts, hula hoop, dance parties, climbing walls, board games, etc.

I love writing short poems and making my own personalized greeting cards for family members. I enjoy gift wrapping and adding extra sparkle to my packages.

Christmas is my favorite holiday, but I decorate the inside of my house for absolutely every holiday of the year, and I added a few of my own.

For my personal entertainment I love watching horror movies and I love roller coasters.

My husband and I started our bucket list. We plan on doing everything on it.
