About Annika

Hi, I'm Annika! As the third of 10 children from a family shaped by fostering and adoption, caregiving is second nature to me. I have 16 plus years of experience with children of all ages, backgrounds, and disabilities. I'm a University of Arizona graduate, a neat freak who loves to cook, and I bring tons of imagination to activities and games. I am also a proud new mom to my 9-month-old daughter. She is a joyful, easygoing baby who loves being around other children. While my focus is always entirely on your child's needs and safety, I find that bringing her along is a wonderful way to encourage socialization and peer play. This setup works beautifully for families looking for a playdate atmosphere with a caregiver who is currently in the thick of the infant toddler stages. I am very flexible and happy to do a trial run to ensure the dynamic supports your family's routine!
