About Anna

I'm a warm, nurturing caregiver with over 20 years of classroom and in-home experience and 36 units of Early Childhood Education. I help children feel safe, valued, and confident while building trusting relationships with families. Patient and calm, I guide children through big feelings with empathy, help them name emotions, and offer gentle, consistent boundaries that encourage kindness and independence. Inspired by Reggio Emilia, I follow children's interests through hands-on learning. As an artist, I love sharing art, storytelling, music, and imaginative play, balanced with outdoor exploration and dependable routines. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, with experience caring for children with special needs. I value open communication and partnering with parents to support each child. I have my own car, love pets, and am happy to help with children's meals and light housekeeping related to their care.
