About Anna
Experience: 10 yrs
Aloha! :) I have a lot of experience with, and love for, taking care of children. While doing so, I prioritize Kindness, Compassion, Patience, and Respect. Some of my experience with children includes ~ Helping in a daycare center for toddlers, as a nanny for an infant, a general babysitter, summer camp counselor, and teachers assistant in elementary schools. Clear, direct and healthy communication is important to me while working with families. Beyond Childcare, some of my other passions involve ~ Nature / The Earth, Holistic Health & Wellness, Music / Art / Creativity / Play, Taking care of Animals, Meditation / Yoga, Peace & Joy, Among much else! :) If you're interested in conversing, please feel free to send me a message ~ I'd be glad to chat! Blessings, ~ Anna * *Please note ~ I've been vegetarian for many years, and am not comfortable with cooking, preparing or serving meat to children.* *
Most recent review
Anna was our little one’s nanny for several months in 2024 (he was under one year old while in their care). Anna brings a kind, intentional and holistic approach to child care. We had a strict no screen time rule with our son so we really appreciated that she kept him engaged with playing, reading, music and just exploring the world around them. Anna really embraces being present in the moment and I loved seeing them spend so much quality time outside together. Her communication is respectful; it really felt like a partnership in caring for our child. Anna regularly, and proactively, checked in on how things were working for the household. As new parents, we were highly selective with who we would trust to spend any time with our son. Parents considering hiring Anna in the future should know that she is trustworthy, attentive, prioritizes wellness and brought a calming presence to the household. Anna also helped us keep up with baby related household chores; we were so grateful for the help while navigating parenting and work outside the home. As an added bonus, our pets loved Anna too. I genuinely believe the time spent with her has had continued benefits for my son’s development. When winding down, he still uses calming techniques that he learned from Anna. We’re very thankful our paths crossed and appreciate the support she provided our family.
