I will not grant S/O access to your home while I’m caring for your child! It’s best if Mom can work out Dad’s/relatives pick up/drop off without me! I do babysit for Mom&Dad families.

A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Ariana! I am a 20-year-old expecting to be a mom soon and love working with kids. I also can run errands, cook, and clean if needed. I am currently in the Army’s National Guard and want a side job. I currently also work as a bus monitor, and I would love more experience with all kinds of children. I’ve worked with all grades and ages, but I’ve mostly worked for special needs. I love helping the little ones out that can’t really help themselves . It’s very rewarding helping others. And getting to know the kids more is very rewarding, but everyone is so different in many ways that just brightens my day seeing how unique everyone is. I am CPR certified through my monitoring job and also CPI certified. With all of that, I would just love to put my skills and the knowledge I’ve gotten over these years to help your little one out and maybe help make your life a little bit easier.
