Sitter in Charlotte, North Carolina

Hi! I'm Ariana and I'd love to help you give your child the best upbringing possible. Growing up, I was the middle child of 12 siblings (yes, you read that right!). As the older children left the nest, the younger siblings were often left in my care. I didn't realize I was called to childcare, however, until attending college where my extracurricular activities included involvement in a Christian youth mentoring organization, leading children's ministry (ages 4-7), after-school tutoring for math, science, and literacy, and providing nanny services for 3 different families over the course of 4 years. My experience didn't stop there; in the summer of 2015, I worked as a teacher/tutor of English as a Second Language (ESL) to preschool and kindergarten aged children through a program called Rising Readers while pregnant with twins (boy and girl) of my own. Though childcare can be challenging at times, it is far more rewarding to contribute to a precious child's enrichment. I've found that raising children is a passion of mine. Our society turns a blind eye to children, as if they are the lesser beings of our population, however, I believe that "the least of these" are actually the greatest of us all. They are pure in heart, adventurous, curious, and are capable of loving unconditionally--and it is my goal to protect that. In addition to my experience, I am very health conscious and prepare homemade meals and snacks from scratch for my family and friends almost every night. I love to entertain and can help foster creativity through music, crafting, safe cooking lessons, and art! I also believe in the importance of education. My twins do not watch much television, but are stimulated through educational toys, social activities with Mommy, and reading. I've been a stay at home mom for a year now, and I absolutely love it! But, I do not want to leave the childcare industry. If my experience and personality sound like a great fit for your family, by all means, contact me. My Facebook profile is also public so you can look me up. I'm extremely transparent and my life is lead by my strong beliefs and values. Thank you so much for reading. I look forward to hearing from you :)
