Hi there! My name is Ariel, and I'm excited to introduce myself as a babysitter. I love being a sitter because it allows me to connect with children and help them grow in a fun and nurturing environment. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing a child's smile and knowing I've contributed to their happiness. I have 10 years of experience caring for children of various ages, including those with developmental disabilities. I've worked with families in my community, helping with everything from homework to playtime. My approach is always patient and attentive, ensuring that each child feels valued and understood. In terms of skills and training, I am trained in CPR and First Aid, which gives me the confidence to handle emergencies if they arise. I also have experience in planning engaging activities that promote learning and creativity. I believe that every moment spent with children is an opportunity for growth, and I strive to make each interaction meaningful.

I’m the oldest of 3 siblings and love to watch kids. I have experience being a paraprofessional in a preschool classroom. I am currently enrolled in my second semester at IVCC working towards a degree in psychology. I have planned my classes with possibly working before and after school hours in mind. I have a reliable vehicle that I can use to take kids to and from if need be. Feel free to contact me for references or to set up a time to meet!

I'm on the calmer side of a caresitter, but I have both experience with taking care of autistic and or special needs children and personal experience with having autism. I enjoy helping when and where I can in my day to day life; such as making meals, cleaning or even just playing around with the kids in my life. I am CPR and First aid certified. Unrelated to work I enjoy art and cartoons and hope to one day move in with my fiance and do child care in her country, as she's currently doing her major in Canada.

I love being a babysitter as I find it fulfilling and fun to work with kids. I may have no formal experience but being the oldest siblings(19) has taught me to take care of children as I have 3 siblings to take care of while frequently doing errands for my parents as they're always at work. I have prepared meals, picked drove my siblings around, done laundry, tended cleaning duties, helped potty trained my siblings of both genders, and ran errands while being occupied with my siblings.
