Hello! My name is Ariana (although, people often call me Ari - I answer to either!). I'm a 48 year old woman, living on the Northwest side of Chicago (in Mayfair) with my sweetheart of a rescue dog, Sluggo. I've been babysitting regularly - just about every week - since the age of 13! After graduating from high school, while taking college courses, I worked full-time, in addition to babysitting. Over the years I've had several careers/jobs (primarily in sales and customer service) and have continued to be regularly employed as a babysitter throughout it all. I adore children and can't imagine my life without them playing the positive role in it that they have! In the last 6 years, besides babysitting and being a regularly scheduled part-time nanny, I've done quite a bit of dog, cat, and house-sitting as well (often while babysitting). I'm a lover of animals and Read more consider myself to be very animal friendly! Additionally, I have cared for children who have Aspergers and/or ADD/ADHD for more than a decade. I've also taken care of newborns and children up to the age of 14 years old, including twins. I've ALWAYS taken pride in and enjoyed caring for others!
