A little bit about me
Greetings!
My name is Caitlin Elizabeth, aka Ananda Rose. I am a creative wellness enthusiast and facilitator, performer, swim instructor, and 200-hour yoga teacher. I’ve worked with children for over 20 years in various babysitting roles, afterschool programs, summer camps, and swim environments.
I take a human-centered approach with each child, adapting the way I care, teach, or hold space based on their unique needs. While babysitting in Colorado, I spent time going on nature walks with a four-year-old, making up songs and stories together on the local trails near his home. Experiences like these reflect how I naturally engage children through creativity, presence, and imagination.
I have experience supporting kids in developing social skills, accommodating special diets, and incorporating positive self-talk. I truly love witnessing young life blossom and feel honored to support children as they grow, explore, and express themselves.

She was with him when he passed, comforted and supported his children and has been a sister to us since."
