About Ariana

I have a passion for working with children, & it has been a part of my life from an early age. I didn't grow up with siblings & I always wanted them. Caring for children has allowed me to experience the joy & connection I longed for as a child. Since the age of 12, I've been babysitting, & those experiences deepened my commitment to this work. Being a sitter & nanny brings me fulfillment & supports my long-term goal of becoming a youth social worker. I'm a college graduate from Xavier University with a Bachelors degree in Liberal Arts & a minor in Gender & Diversity Studies on a Social Work track. During college, I worked for several families & a mental health program that does clinical work for children with caregivers who abuse/abused substances. I have also completed two years of ECE courses, CPR/AED certified, & received training in the prevention of Shaken Baby Syndrome. I genuinely love working with children, & it's so rewarding to witness their growth & development over time.
