Hi everyone! I'm Anna, I've always loved caring for and educating children. I have my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. I grew up in a big family with 11 siblings and over 20 nieces and nephews!! So caring for children has been a natural part of my life. I've worked with kids of all ages, but most of my professional experience is with 12months to 5 years old. I student taught at Hill and Plain elementary for the preschool. I led activities ranging from story times, music, and movement, to various art and sensory projects. My focus was always pushing curiosity and of course giving them a safe space to do so! Some activities I really enjoy doing with children are getting outside and going to the playground and parks, the library, sensory play, teaching shapes/colors, arts and crafts, and how to navigate their big emotions. Outside of work I'm big into health/fitness, visiting friends and family, reading and trying new things like restaurants or hobbies!

Hi! I'm Jasha (Jāysha), Jae for short. I'm currently a Masters student at National University studying to become a Behavior Analyst. I have six years of babysitting/ nannying/ homecare under my belt: experience with twins, and up to four children at a time, children diagnosed with special/ behavioral needs. I have also been employed in Astor preschools previously as a Teacher Assistant. I currently work as an Applied Behavior Analysis Specialist in a residential setting with adults that have various developmental disabilities and work as a Behavior Technician part time one on one with children diagnosed with autism. Outside of my work, I’m very involved with the arts such as singing, writing, dancing, acting, and performing. I’ll typically find a way to incorporate my knowledge of the arts in all that I do! Always do what you love & love what you do!
