Miss Anna

I’ve been nannying since I was 11, and running around theme parks even longer! Some of my sweetest memories growing up are at the parks, and I love getting the chance to relive the wonder and magic all over again through the eyes of the little ones I get to care for. While my priority is to help ease the often hectic theme park experience, I also hope to create meaningful memories with your family. Working with kids makes my heart swell and I truly enjoy getting to know and love each new family. Whether it’s watching the fireworks from the hotel balcony before bedtime, or spending a sweet moment at a character meet and greet while the adults are off seeking thrills, I’m here to be part of your family for the day and ensure everyone has a stress-free and magical trip!

I am currently a junior pursuing nursing at the University of Central Florida and am fluent in both English and Spanish. I started taking care of children when I was 13 and since then have cared for children from 9 months to 14 years old, including three years of experience with a wonderful special needs family. In addition to babysitting, I coach a high school dance/color guard team and work at a local pediatric hospital. My family and I traveled to Disney every year since I was a baby and then the magic became home when I moved to Orlando when I was 9. My goal is to make your vacation feel just as magical for you as it does for your children, because parents deserve a little pixie dust too!
