She has been a full-time Mediacorp artist for 15 years and is managed by Artiste Networks, a subsidiary of Hype Records. Through her television career, Aw has established herself as one of the most popular and high-profile celebrities in Singapore and is referred to as "Xin Sheng Dai Ah Jie (新生代阿姐)" or "big sister of the new generation". She has received several awards, including "Best Actress" and "All-Time Favourite Artiste" at Mediacorp's Star Awards. Aw has published two books – the best-selling Jeanette Aw: Definitions in 2012 and Sol’s World: Somebody to Love in 2015 – and starred in musical Beauty World in 2015.
While in college, Aw entered Route to Glamour, in which she placed first. She signed on with SPH Mediaworks and made her acting debut in the 2001 drama Touched. Aw then switched to Mediacorp in 2002 and played Mo Jingjing in Holland V (2003). Aw was named as one of the Mediacorp 7 Princesses in 2006, after which she achieved wider success with her leading role in acclaimed drama The Little Nyonya (2008). Aw garnered critical appreciation for portraying flawed actress, Zhao Fei Er, in The Dream Makers (2013) and its 2015 sequel. She won her first "Best Actress" award at the Star Awards for her performance in the latter drama.
Aw's off-screen roles include duties as a brand ambassador for several Singapore and international companies.
Aw was born in Singapore to parents with ancestry from Fujian, China. She has an elder sister and an elder brother. Coming from an English-speaking family, Aw rarely used Mandarin in their conversations. She considered her childhood blessed and fortunate because her parents provided for everything that she needed. Growing up with a carefree nature, she was an introvert and was "the kind of girl who loved reading, writing and drawing". Aw wanted to be a dancer, an artist or a child psychologist.
