Hello! I’m Anna, and I have many experience working with and caring for children of all ages. My passion for childcare began as the oldest sibling in my family and has grown through years of experience caring for children as well as working as a teacher’s assistant. I am patient, dependable, and dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn and grow. I enjoy planning fun, age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, educational games, and creative learning. I’m also happy to help with homework, prepare simple meals, maintain daily routines, and assist with housekeeping. I am a licensed driver with reliable transportation and can assist with school drop-offs, pickups, appointments, and extracurricular activities. I am fluent in English and Mandarin Chinese, allowing me to communicate comfortably with bilingual families. Families describe me as trustworthy, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I provide reliable, compassionate care that gives parents peace of mind while supporting each child’s growth and development. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and become someone you can depend on. My schedule is very flexible so don’t be afraid to reach out!!

ABOUT ME: I am a loving, experienced childcare provider and tutor who adores children. I have extensive (25yrs+) of childcare experience as a: nanny, babysitter, teacher, tutor, and camp counselor in the US. I also work globally as a consultant on the health, protection, and well-being of children, adolescents, and women in development and humanitarian emergency settings, mainly in Asia and Africa. I am taking a break from my doctorate in clinical psychology with a child and adolescent focus in the coming months. I have worked with children 0-20yrs of various abilities, backgrounds, and cultural contexts. BACKGROUND: My undergraduate degree was in Studio Art and Environmental Studies with a concentration in Africana Studies, and my graduate degree was in Public Health with a focus on the health, well-being, and protection of children, adolescents, women, and families. APPROACH: I am committed, loving, supportive, and passionate about child development and practical, evidence-based public health and child development best practices for child health, development, and protection. I try to foster learning and creative and developmentally-appropriate play, activities, skills, and daily routines (e.g., sleep hygiene and habits). I consider physical, cognitive, emotional, psychological, social, and moral/ethical aspects of child development and evidence-based research on child health, well-being, and resilience. I facilitate, organize, and supervise outdoor activities, creative and imaginative play, cooking, art, science, volunteer projects, outings, and playdates. I assist with tutoring, homework, reading stories, and other daily routines. I take children to appointments and activities, prepare children’s meals, and do light child-related housekeeping. I try to balance children’s physical and mental health and psychosocial well-being using an evidence-based harm reduction approach. I believe it is vital to employ enough caution to keep children safe and healthy, but not so much that they become anxious, depressed, or developmentally stifled. I have been certified in CPR, first aid, and as a Wilderness First Responder. My language skills are rusty, but I understand some French and Spanish. AVAILABILITY: I accept ‘part-time,’ ‘occasional,’ and ‘date night’ childcare when I am not busy with other commitments. Please see my calendar. RATES: I made $15/hr as a hs student with limited experience and more now due to my training and experience.
