About Annika

I have a diverse background and portfolio after over 10 years in the care industry. This includes caring for children ages newborn to around 16 years old. I have three years experience working in a licensed gym daycare, which could have had anywhere from 1-25 kids there on a given night. I also spent two years as a lifeguard supervising children. As I completed my undergraduate degree, I worked at the Bloomington Montessori School as a substitute preschool teacher and also as a child care provider during board meetings and parent-teacher conferences. I am most passionate about education and community building. Childcare has always been very rewarding and fun for me and I love getting to know new families and kids. I really enjoy spending time outdoors (hiking, rock climbing, gardening, swimming, playing Frisbee, etc.), doing arts and crafts, reading, and exploring new places.
