Hi! I'm Ariana! I'm an experienced educator and caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with children, teens, and young adults, including children with autism and higher support needs. My background is in special education, and I'm comfortable supporting routines, sensory needs, communication, personal care, behavior, and independence. I'm patient, dependable, and believe every child deserves to feel safe, understood, and supported. I'm also an artist and run my own small business, Cosmic Crafts, so I love bringing creativity into childcare through crafts, sensory activities, outdoor play, and hands-on learning. I also offer tutoring and personalized educational activities. I'd love to get to know your family and be someone you can trust to care for your little ones or adults!
Ariana worked for my family as a private tutor and childcare provider for 2 years. Working with my two preschool-age children, she was constantly creative, energetic, and highly professional. My children learned a great deal from her. She was particularly innovative in devising arts & crafts and sensory projects, and also taught language, reading, science, and much more. She also had an amazing ability to engage both children in learning activities simultaneously. My children are 2 years apart and so were at different developmental stages and had very different interests. Ariana always kept them both engaged at the same time in any given activity. I think this speaks to her ability to sustain a high-quality learning environment with children of different learning styles, abilities, and interests. I would like to give Ariana my highest recommendation.
