The “J” in PJL, Janis’ journey took an unexpected turn after a long career in the travel and service industry, when her daughter Leah asked her to cover an administrative role at Mayfield Children’s Home.
Despite being new to residential childcare, Janis quickly found her passion.
When she learned the home was closing in 2006, it became her mission to save it. Mayfield House had been a home for over 50 years, and many of the children had grown up there.
This pivotal moment marked the Beginning of PJL.
