WHO I AM

Hi, My name is Annie and I have been in the childcare business for 38 years. I have been a licensed home childcare provider for 30 of those years. I have 3 boys (30,27,24); 2 live with me. I also have a 4 year old grandaughter who calls me Nana. :)

When I am not working I love to hike. I recently hiked up Mt Olympus in Greece- that was pretty amazing. I also love gardening, painting, taking photos, and making short movies of my trips and family. 

I have always loved working with children and started out in several of the larger daycare centers in the area. When my first son was born, I knew it would be rewarding for the both of us to start an in-home childcare. I went to Bellevue Community College to get my Early Childhood Degree and I am working towards my BA in Early Childhood at the University of Washington; I have a few more classes to go. 

The things I love most about children are watching them engaged and excited in the learning and discovery process, seeing them become independent little people (and how proud of themselves they are), and playing with....listening to....and learning from them. 

Being a mom, I know how difficult and uncertain finding childcare for your child can be. Ask lots of questions and never be afraid to speak up.

I know your child will love it here!
