Recent reference

"Anna is such a compassionate, patient, and fun caregiver. She has watched my sons over the last three years and has an incredible way of connecting with them. She always has them laughing and having fun in minutes no matter what mood they’re in. My sons have anxiety and are sometimes reluctant to try new things. Anna is able to reassure them and get them engaged without ever making them feel bad. Anna has also worked incredibly hard in her academic career and has been a mentor and tutor to several students over the years. We are so excited for Anna to go to college in the fall, but we are going to miss her!"

Hello! I teach at a local elementary school, worked with elementary to high school aged students in Arlington Heights for six years, was an award-winning PTA member, helped students found the Random Acts of Kindness Club of Arlington Heights, mentored high school students, and led Character Counts in D25 schools. More importantly, I am the mother of two happy young adults -- one considered a gifted learner and one with special needs. I believe everybody is amazing and we each have our unique gifts.

I'm a former elected official, responsible, honest, creative and caring.
