Meet Ariel

Hi, my name is Ariel, I'm 25 and recently moved to the NW DC area. In my spare time, I enjoy babysitting and nannying as a way to take a break from daily life and have fun with kids.  I love being around children and find it to be a very rewarding job.  I have experience with children from newborn all the way up to 15 years of age. I have been noted as reliable, time managed and organized by many others and will be able to assist you in any way possible. I love trying new things and look forward to learning something new everyday as well as teaching children something new while in the process.  I strive to be a positive and influential person in children's lives for I would want the same for my children in the future.  I look forward to helping families in need for a babysitter and can't wait Read more to meet you! Feel free to refer to my references to get a sense of my personality and character!!

Ariel is excellent! We visited from out of town and needed a sitter to watch our 8 and 10 year old girls during a dinner event. We had a fantastic experience. Ariel communicated with me in advance of our trip and then followed up when we arrived in town. Her other reviews were very helpful and I now know why she gets such high marks. She was prompt, reliable, very polite and my girls loved her. I highly recommend Ariel - for those that live in or near Madison and for those visiting from out of town and needing help during their stay. - Kelly M.

Ariel watched our 2yo and 6yo for almost a week. The days ranged from 3 hours to 10 hours. The kids loved Ariel and were excited to see her. We highly recommend her

We were so pleased with Ariel's help this month with our 14-month-old daughter. She was always on time, communicated very well with us, and was so good at having fun with the baby. Our daughter warmed up to her very fast and always enjoyed her visits. I was really impressed with how well Ariel was able to put her to sleep, keep the house picked up, and offer to help with additional tasks. I highly recommend her!

Ariel nannied for our two boys, 3 and 6, and we were very pleased with her performance as both a caregiver and mother's helper. She researched and planned exciting new activities for the boys, and was calm, reliable, and extremely capable. The boys enjoyed their time with her, and have many memories from their activities together. When I was stressed out, Ariel made herself responsible for taking care of things. She was a wonderful help!

Ariel was very responsive to my initial request. She is prompt and has a terrific jovial attitude that the my soon-to-be 2yr old twins resonate with. I'm happy to recommend her!!

Ariel looked after my 8-month-old daughter for a couple of weeks in July 2012. She was really good with baby A, finding lots of fun things to do with her and giving good, detailed reports on feeding and napping activities. Baby A used to squeal with delight when Ariel arrived in the morning, which is probably the best recommendation I can give!

Ariel is a great babysitter. My two boys (4 and 1) love her, and I love that she is incredibly punctual and reliable. She has also been flexible and willing to help out when my schedule has changed at the last minute. She's energetic and patient and has a really good sense of humor. I highly recommend her.

Ariel is fantastic, and we continue to work with her during the holidays and summer breaks. She is excellent with both my four-year old, who loves to go out, and my older child, who is more reserved and loves to play board games. She's always on time, never cancels, and stays in close contact via text messaging. Highly recommended.
