About Ariana

Hiya! I'm a proud aunt to 15 and currently in nursing school with hopes of specializing in pediatrics! I recently moved from South Florida to be closer to family after losing my mom, whom I spent 15 years caring for as she battled dementia. Needless to say, patience and compassion are second nature to me! I have experience with kiddos of all ages, from newborns to teenagers, including children across the autism spectrum, from highly independent to nonverbal. I also have a background in American Sign Language (ASL) and have spent years participating in and coaching competitive cheer and dance! I love getting to know each child's personality while keeping safety, fun, and enrichment a priority. I'm also a bit of a nerd! Marvel, Harry Potter, Avatar: The Last Airbender, you name it! I'm naturally a little goofy, love making genuine connections, and would love to get to know your family!
