Meet Annie
- Comfortable with pets
Enthusiastic, fun, creative 25-year-old recent graduate of the Theatre School at DePaul University with loads of experience and a reputation for above-and-beyond child care! I began babysitting when I was 17 and have worked as a children's party performer and host for the past seven summers. Fun special skills include singing, teaching voice, acting, yoga & dance, making balloon animals/jewelry/hats, face painting, and an unusually vast knowledge of all things Disney. I also love pets and had many of my own growing up. I’m a very hands-on & active sitter, perfect for children with lots of energy who love to play and move around. I enjoy the outdoors, hiking, biking, swimming and going for walks. (In addition to babysitting, I would love to also offer my services as a performing arts teacher and tutor! More info on my tutoring profile!) In the past, the children I've cared for have especially Read more loved when we do stretches/yoga, play make-believe, practice imagination mediation, sing, learn dances and read bedtime stories. Working with children is something I adore doing. I am very passionate and I believe that is evident in my work. It means a lot to me to go the extra mile as a caretaker, and provide the children I care for with experiences they will cherish and remember. I am fully vaccinated and boosted with an official card. I would be more than happy to wear a mask if that is your preference. I have a passport & CA license, but no vehicle at this time. Thank you for your time and consideration!
