About Anna
Experience: 10 yrs
I've been working with kids in some form or another since I was 12, and honestly? I still think getting to play pretend, build blanket forts, or dive into messy art projects is one of the best parts of the job. I have a graduate degree, over 10 years of experience, and a background as a child therapist-which means I bring a thoughtful, developmentally informed approach to childcare, but I also really just love being around kids and supporting their natural curiosity and creativity. I'm super comfortable caring for one to three children, and I'm happy to follow your household rhythm-whether that means screen-free afternoons, updates throughout the day, or a helping hand with light tidying. I'm patient, playful, and big on child-led engagement. Whether we're building imaginary worlds, or just having a quiet storytime, I aim to create a space where your child feels safe, seen, and encouraged to be fully themselves. I'd love the chance to bring that energy into your home!
Most recent review
Anna babysat our six children over the course of five years. We have an age range of 12 years between our oldest and youngest, our household was full of energy and diverse needs—and Anna handled everything with ease. Anna has a remarkable ability to connect with children of all ages. She created meaningful bonds with each of my kids. She is very creative and led the kids in imaginative activities and adventures. Anna always made sure the kids were engaged and happy. They reminisce fondly about their time with her. Anna is responsible and dependable. We always felt completely at ease leaving our children in her care, knowing she could handle any situation calmly and confidently. She is fun, intelligent, empathetic, and has a love for the outdoors—a love she passed on to our children through countless outdoor explorations and nature-based play. Any family would be fortunate to have her as a caregiver. If you have the opportunity to welcome her into your home, know that your children will be in excellent hands.
