About Annaleise

Hi! My name is Annaleise. I'm 28 years old and have been working with children and their parents on and off in many different settings since I was about 15 years old. Through my experience, I have cared for many babies, ranging from newborns to toddlers, all the way to children up to 12 years old. At one point in time when I was 17, I was babysitting up to five children at once from ages 3 to 12! Then at the age of 22 I was caring for multiple children from 4 months to 3 years old. My heart has always yearned to nurture and teach. One of the best things is to witness a child discover something new about the world around them. As someone who loves people, nature, and the arts, the learning never ends! I believe that through a balance of positive encouragement, engagement with the people and things around them, imaginative play, and quiet learning time, children can learn so much more than we often give them credit for, and we can learn so much from them as well.
