About Ariana

Hi! I'm a 23-year-old caregiver and the oldest of four siblings, with a lifelong background in childcare. I've cared for children from newborns to teens, including long-term roles with toddlers (1-3), young kids (4-6), and school-aged children (7-16). I've also babysat cousins and other families, so I'm comfortable with a wide range of ages and personalities. I love creating a fun, safe environment through reading, outdoor play, and music. My mom is a teacher, and I've learned a lot from her about patience and child development. I speak fluent English and conversational Spanish, have some college experience and a GED, and reliable transportation. I also love animals and have experience with cats and dogs. My skills include: -creating and maintaining a positive relationship with both kids and parents -the handling of kids emotional needs, including during meltdowns -supporting daily activities such as homework and chores
