Okay kiddo, imagine you have a big pile of toys that you need to clean up in your room. Some toys are broken and need to be thrown away, some toys need to be put in the right place, and some toys need to be fixed before you can use them again. Being a data janitor is like cleaning up toys, but instead you are cleaning up a big pile of information on a computer.
Data janitors are people who are responsible for cleaning up messy and complicated data so that it can be used for different purposes. Just like how you need to throw away broken toys, data janitors need to get rid of information that doesn't work or causes problems. They need to organize information so that it's easy to find, like putting your Legos in the Lego bin and your dolls in the dollhouse. Sometimes, data janitors even have to fix the information, like fixing a toy that's broken or doesn't work properly.
Once the data is cleaned up, it can be used for all sorts of things, like making decisions in a company or predicting what might happen next. But before any of that can happen, the data needs to be cleaned by the data janitor. See, it's just like cleaning toys!
