About Ariana

Experience: 10 yrs

As a caregiver, my passion lies in fostering children's growth and development. With a decade of experience, I've discovered immense joy in positively impacting young lives. My patient, creative, and friendly nature allows me to connect easily with children, creating a safe and nurturing environment. I prioritize open communication with parents, using their preferred method to discuss their child's day or any concerns. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules and enjoy playing a variety of games with children, from outdoor sports to educational games that enhance learning. Holding a college degree with coursework in early child development, I'm prepared to care for children of all ages, up to 12 years old. I am comfortable caring for up to two children at a time. Apart from English, I don't speak any other languages, but I have a car and am comfortable with pets. I am happy to assist with cooking, meal preparation, carpooling, travel, and supervising swimming activities.

Ariana has watched our two boys for a few years and she is wonderful. She is kind, calm, reliable, and has built a sweet connection with our boys. I always feel confident referring Ariana to friends and every one of them has relayed how great she is with their kids too.
