About Ana

Experience: 3 yrs

Hello! My name is Ana. I am a mother of three children (ages 17, 14, and 11) and have been working in early childhood education since 2001. I hold an Associate Degree in Arts and an Early Childhood Education Certification from Oakton College. I am CPR/First Aid certified, Food Handler certified, and have completed training in Positive Discipline, Welcoming and Supporting Every Child, Caring for Mixed-Age Groups, and child development. I currently operate a DCFS-licensed home daycare in Chicago, providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn through play, reading, music, arts and crafts, sensory activities, and outdoor exploration. I have also volunteered for 16 years at my church's Sunday School and lead Story Time sessions at the Romanian Cultural Center of Chicago. I am interested in offering babysitting services to expand my experience and support more families. I am patient, dependable, caring, and dedicated to helping children thrive.

Ana is a true professional! She takes the responsibility of caring for children very seriously and understands how important it is. I trusted her completely when I would leave my daughter in her care. Not only did she ensure that the children had their basic needs met and she provided structure and activities, but she would take the time to console the child whose toy got taken away and teach the other child that you can't take other children's toys. She makes sure the children learn social skills and fairness. I don't know anyone who works as hard as Ana to prepare everything for the children in her care and to improve herself. She always took classes and read the newest research in early childhood education. I fully recommend Ana to anyone who is looking for trustworthy and professional child care.
