We LOVE Janet!
🤣
In honor of Social Worker Appreciation month, today we bring you the best of the best! Our very own, Janet Richmond. If you are familiar with Children’s Home Society in Greenbrier County, you know what a force Janet is and how much she does for children throughout the state.
Janet leads with heart, courage and a will to always figure it out. She has been the driving force behind what we do here in Greenbrier County and is now the swinging for the fences as shes helping manage what we do as an agency across the state.
We are so thankful Janet is a part of our team! Here’s a little more about her:
1. How long have you been with Children’s Home Society: 33 years
2. What is your position at CHS: Chief Operations Officer
3. What’s your favorite way to spend the weekend: Fishing, floating, fire pit and in bad weather, time in my recliner
4. Do you have any kids/pets: I’ve had hundreds of kids over the years but none of my own. I do have one beautiful, goofy canine, Zoey
5. What’s your go-to snack for movie night: Crunchy Cheetos
6. What’s your favorite app on your phone: Genjus Scan…allows me to work from anywhere
7. If you could switch lives with anyone, who would it be: No one…even with the ups and downs, the highs and lows, my life is still the one I would want
8. If you could have any superpower, what would it be: I would wish to have astral projection
9. What’s your go-to karaoke song: David Allen Coe- You Never Even Called Me By My Name
10. Why did you decide to be a social worker: I didn’t choose social work, it chose me. After 2 years of college I needed the fastest path to graduation. The college catalog said it was social work so I went with it. 35 years later in this field I do believe that was divine intervention and things turned out the way they were meant to be.
