Hello! I'm Anika, I'm 20 years old and am currently a college student studying child psychology at Lewis & Clark. I have been babysitting children of all ages for 8 years now, and the past 4 have worked in daycares and as a camp counselor/director. My experience has allowed me to understand and be prepared for a high variety of social and safety situations. Looking forward to meeting new kids and making connections!

We are so happy we found Anika! Throughout the interview and meet/greet process, we’ve been so impressed with how professional and communicative she is. She clearly enjoys spending time with children and was great with our daughter when we went out for a date night last night. She sent update texts through the night to put my anxious mom energy at ease, kept our daughter in her normal bedtime routine and even tidied up! We plan to work with Anika for regular sitting in the future and I’d highly recommend her!
