About Anna

I like working with kids because I like helping people be themselves. I believe children are good at being themselves, they just need environmental support to be safe, and affirmation for their best. I started working with kids when I was 11-working support in the church nursery, then teaching preschool through my junior high and high school years. I am the second of four girls, so I'm comfortable with large families. When caring for children, I prefer to be active and engaged-reading books, playing games, playing together. I like to bring along some of my favorite toys and books to share, and I also make it a point to do some light housekeeping. In my spare time, I like to read, sing, play piano, run, bike and swim, and play games, so I'm down for most activities that kids enjoy to explore their world. I am currently working as a dental assistant M-Th 7-4:30, so I would be most helpful on weekends, supporting date nights or in the evenings. Available on Fridays full time as well.
