Sitter in Elk Grove, California

Hi, my name is Anna and I have been working with children of all ages from pre mature babies to mentoring teens for over 16 years. I am ECE and CPR certified. My philosophy is to teach children to think creatively and purposefully so they may succeed in a complex and ever-changing world. Purposeful play is developmentally appropriate and a significant element of any early childhood. Play is a way of learning for children. The importance of play will influence a child’s intellectual, social, emotional and physical development. I honestly love teaching and just being around children of all ages! I admire children’s endless energy, honesty, creativity, flexibility and resilience. Sometimes I think of the children I saw during the day. I think about the progress they have made, how I can help them further, and I hope that when they leave my side, they feel better, stronger, empowered, and happier. Knowing that my job is to help kids achieve their full potential and to help them feel happier, more confident and all around better about themselves, brings a huge smile to my face, more love in my heart and honestly helps me sleep better at night!
