A little bit about me

I moved to San Diego from Montana in pursuit of sunshine and new experiences. I have been in Management for 8 years including 6 years stent of managing high profile clients homes in the mountains of Montana. My family has grown to include 7 Nieces and nephews that I love to visit and help grow. I take pride in being a part of their journey and love to encourage and teach them as I can. I spent three months co parenting my sisters children after the passing of her husband. I love maintaining a home and feel it’s an honor to be a part of a child’s beginning journey. If you feel like I could be a good fit for your family, please reach out, and I’d love to set a meeting with you to see if we could be a good fit. Cheers!

A little bit about me

I’m a dedicated and caring college student currently working toward my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education! I’ve been working with children for over five years, and caring for kids isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with children of different ages and personalities, helping them learn, grow, and feel safe and supported.
I take pride in building strong, trusting relationships with both children and their families. I’ve been fortunate to work with families long-term, which I believe reflects my reliability, patience, and genuine commitment to each child’s well-being. I strive to create a positive, nurturing environment where children feel encouraged, understood, and confident!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Anna, and I'm a 2026 graduate with a bachelor's degree in Psychology and Philosophy with a minor in Spanish. I absolutely love working with kids and have years of experience supporting children of all ages, including neurodivergent children, in educational, clinical, camp, and home settings. I'm passionate about helping kids grow, learn, and play. Outside of school and work, I enjoy spending time in nature, reading, writing, am a bit of a movie buff, and not a hobby but I also love animals. I'm responsible, patient, and creative, and I want to create a fun, safe, and supportive environment for every child I work with.
