A little bit about me

I am a 16-year-old student-athlete and sophomore at Manchester High School, where I maintain AB Honor Roll status, serve as class president, and participate in multiple clubs and activities. I work very well with children and am known for being trustworthy, patient, responsible, organized, and creative. I also have strong communication and problem-solving skills and am very observant and dependable.

Although I do not have formal professional experience working with children yet, I have been around and helped care for young children my whole life. I genuinely enjoy creating positive connections with kids and providing a safe, supportive, and fun environment for them. I would love the opportunity to gain experience, build bonds, and be someone families can rely on.

A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Ariyanna! I am a very energetic and nurturing sitter with 4+ years of childcare experience between working as a babysitter for family, as well as an assistant teacher in a daycare working with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. There, I assisted with mealtime, diapering and cleaning while also having a small hand in lesson planning and teaching crafts, so I am willing to create fun and educational activities for me and your child to do. I have my own personal car, so transportation will never be an issue, and running errands for you is within my ability if needed. I am also first aid and cpr certified and will never mind hanging out with a furry friend or three!! :-)
