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.

"Ericka is a natural nurturer and teacher. The kids loved having Ericka take them to the park and teach them how to paint. She was so helpful and I was able to have her help them with homework after school, pack their lunches and do pick-up and drop off."
