Hi! My name is Ariel Creal. I love being a sitter, being able to help the kids and have fun! I make sure to do what the child likes and make them happy. I have been a sitter for 5 years, and have such a great rapport with all the parents. I am a super energetic person, always bubbly, love outdoors, games, and coloring. I am CPR+ and First Aid certified. I do have my own car to travel. I can cook, clean, help with homework, change diapers. The most important thing is making sure a child feels safe and comfortable and I try to be that safe space for all kids.

I genuinely love children and I have always instantly connected with them. Even as a child I was helping take care of children due to my mother owning two of her own daycares. I am first aide & cpr certified as well as safe serv (food safety) certified.
