February 2008 Caseworker of the Month
Janet Arnell
Optimum Children Services
I would like to nominate Janet Arnell of Corsicana, TX for caseworker of the month. She is currently employed by Optimum Children Services of Red Oak, TX. She is an extremely busy woman that knows how to multi-task between her own personal family life and still be an exceptional caseworker. She is a loving individual that will give you the shirt off her back if she believed it would benefit you in any way. Janet is always pleasant no matter what time of day you call her. She always has an open door policy because she is very dedicated to her job. She does not believe that office hours stop at 5:00 o'clock and many of her families love and appreciate her for that. Janet has been more like a motivational speaker when times get hard as she gives you the encouraging words of comfort to let you know that everything will work out alright. Janet posses an extraordinary gift that no other caseworker has. There are several other foster families that are envious of us because we have Janet as our caseworker. I feel truly blessed for my family and I to have Janet Arnell in our life. She truly inspired all of us and has become part of our family. I can not think of any other way to show tribute to her than to have her honored as caseworker of the month. In closing, I pray Janet has touched and inspired your lives after reading this the way she has my families lives and the kids we have opened our door to over the years.
