About Anika

Hi! My name is Anika, and I have about 2 years of experience babysitting from when I was 13-15 years old, and 2 years experience as a CNA in geriatrics. This experience is relevant as it requires so much patience, empathy, companionship, advocacy, and the ability to stay calm under pressure. In many ways it can be similair to working with children. I absolutely love kids and could keep them entertained for hours (even if I get a little winded.) If you want your child to spend more time playing and learning instead of on screens, I'm great at succesfully encouraging that while making it fun. I am also open to helping with homework and tutoring. While I may not be a parent myself, I have always believed wholeheartedly in the concept of gentle parenting, and my patience and empathy are two of my strongest qualities. I am committed to helping you feel as safe and informed as possible as a parent - and to earning your childs trust and happiness as well.
