Hello there, I'm Anna! About Me I'm a mindful, creative nanny with 8 years of experience caring for children through a high-conscious, heart-centered approach. My focus is on nurturing emotional intelligence, imagination, and inner peace while creating a safe, joyful, and engaging environment. Children thrive under gentle structure and presence - and I bring that into every part of my care. From mindful play and music to crafts and storytelling, I help little ones connect with their creativity, confidence, and sense of calm. What I Offer • Creative projects, DIY crafts, and imaginative play • Mindfulness, meditation, and presence-based caregiving • Conscious child development and emotional awareness support • Bilingual communication and Spanish language learning • Experience caring 1-3 children at a time • Music enrichment - I sing and play piano & guitar • Health-conscious meal prep tailored to your family's needs
Anna is an incredible Nanny, caregiver and baby sitter. She helped us on weekends and the occasional weeknight for 3 or 4 years with our now 9 year old son. She constantly engaged him with fun activities when they stayed home but would strive to get him out of the house experiencing life as often as possible going to the playground, the climbing gym, the park, local town events, etc. When at home she always kept him positively entertained! Whether he wanted to play sports with her, make music with her (she is a gifted pianist and singer), bake together, do science experiments, make real home movie productions (like, seriously legit thematic movies with multiple scenes, a plot, costumes etc), play board games or anything else she was always game and in it to win with him. She was very good at keeping him OFF SCREEN without complaints! In addition, she would always be willing to be firm and make him do the things he didn't necessarily want to do but had to do. For instance, he was slower to develop his fine motor dexterity, so we we really needed to get him drawing, coloring, and writing more and she made it fun for him and helped him practice that a lot. Anna also is authentic and you always felt like you were getting the real her (and the real her is a kind, patient, fun and strong young woman!). But this helped the whole family develop trust faster with her. It also made it easy for us, the parents, to be around her in the house because we felt like we could be our real selves too. We have nothing but good things to say about Anna. And if need be, we're happy to be a reference should you need to call us about her. Sincerely, Dan and Julie
