Hello! My name is Catherine and I am a registered nurse, currently working night shift in a telemetry floor at the hospital. I am located in Porter Ranch! I have worked for multiple families in the past working with a variety of ages (including infants) as well as special needs.

My experience includes working for Channel Island Social services where I provided childcare for children in foster homes as well as individuals with disabilities. Along with this, I worked with a private family for 6 years on a part time basis until the children were old enough they no longer needed supervision. I have provided care for individuals from ages newborn to 23 years old. Working with children is my passion. I enjoy assisting children with their curiosity while creating a fun, safe, and loving environment for them to thrive. Finding or creating age appropriate games and activities to help children thrive is something I have become to enjoy.

I love children, I believe they can get us the best we have. Spending time with them helps us to be and return to be children. Have the ability to love someone who is not ours and take care of it as it were. Amo criança, acredito que elas conseguem nos tirar o que temos de melhor. Passar tempo com elas nos ajudam a ser e a voltar ser crianças. Ter a habilidade de amar alguém que não é nosso e cuidar como se fosse. (Sou brasileira)

Hi there! My name is Ariella, and I’m excited to share a bit about myself. I’m an experienced and reliable caregiver passionate about providing the best care for children. Growing up in a big family, I spent much time looking after my nieces and nephews, where my love for childcare began. Since then, I’ve enjoyed working with many other families, helping their kids grow, learn, and have fun! I’m also proud of my background—I’m African American and bilingual, with French as my first language and English as my second. Speaking both languages has been a big part of my life. When I’m not babysitting, you’ll often find me enjoying my other passions—listening to music, exploring art and cinema, photography, and going to school. I’m also a Christian, and my faith shapes my belief in kindness, patience, and the importance of helping others. For me, caregiving isn’t just a job—it’s something I truly love doing. I believe that when you follow your passion, it shines through in the care and attention you give. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!
