Janie Forbes
Executive Assistant
Janie, mom of 2, joined the executive team in the role of Executive Assistant in June 2019. Janie holds a BS in Criminology and a Masters in Criminology. Janie studied vulnerable populations and how they are more at risk of victimization. She brings a unique skillset and experience to Night Lights.
She came to us after working for three years at Aurora Mental Health, where she worked as a case worker using exercise to help clients who had mental health diagnosis cope with day to day challenges, weight gain associated with medication, cope with daily stress and anxiety, and overall using exercise as a coping mechanism. Many of her clients either had special needs or had children with special needs.
That experience combined with of her own experience, Janie is familiar with the importance of respite care and recognizes the need for support when a family has members with special needs. Janie saw firsthand how hard it is to find someone to care for a child who has special needs after being turned down by babysitters repeatedly. Janie's education and work experience combined with personal experience drive her passion for helping others.
