About Ariel

Hi! I've been working with kids for about 4 years, and before that I spent 5 years as an ESL elementary school teacher. I absolutely love helping kids learn, grow, and have fun while making sure they feel safe. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, have a college degree, and have experience with children of different ages. I enjoy keeping kids active with outdoor games, sports, trips to the park, swimming, baking, crafts, puzzles, and anything that gets their creativity going. I'm also a strong swimmer and am happy to supervise swimming activities. I also have experience caring for individuals with special needs. I'd describe myself as patient, reliable, easygoing, and organized. I believe in having fun while still setting kind and respectful boundaries, and I'm happy to follow whatever routines and parenting style work best for your family. Keeping parents updated is important to me, and I always make communication a priority.
