About Annika

Hello! With eight years of dedicated experience in professional childcare, I bring a unique blend of expertise drawn from my background in psychology and the outdoor industry. Currently pursuing my master's degree, I'm enthusiastic about offering my services with flexible hours tailored to your needs. In my journey, I've discovered a genuine passion for nurturing children aged 6 to 10, though I'm equally comfortable with kids of all ages. My extensive experience includes working with individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down syndrome, and ADHD, ensuring a nurturing and inclusive environment for every child under my care. As an active individual, I thrive on engaging children in outdoor activities. With Shenandoah close, I'm eager to inspire a love for nature and exploration among your kids. The pool is another option as well! While I'm no longer lifeguard certified, I spent four years as a lifeguard and maintain CPR certification for added peace of mind.
