Hello! I am a loving, playful, creative professional Ballerina, Early Childhood Educator, and Nanny. I have been a regular part time nanny for multiple families in NYC for the past 10 years and am in Dallas for a few weeks to work at the Opera. (I am actually still with a family that I met when I first joined Urbansitter- through the birth of their second child and a move!) I strive to provide a loving, peaceful environment, and to nurture all areas of development for these wonderful little humans. In addition to more than a decade of hands on experience, I have been trained in childhood development through movement with Dionne Kamara, and through sensory play with Jennie Monness at Union Square Play. I have since joined the staff there as a Lead Educator and a Co-Creator of the ‘Dance! Play! Ballet!’ curriculum. I base my approach to nannying on the Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and RIE philosophies that I have been exposed to and experienced in my work. I am Infant CPR/First Aid certified.

I am a reliable, enthusiastic, disciplined, and honest individual with a successful track record of working with kids of multiple different families through which I developed exceptional child care and needs management expertise. I am well versed in taking care of children between the ages of 5 months to 12 years. Specifically, I am very competent at: - Meal and snacks preparation and bottle-feeding infants - Bathing, dressing, and toilet-training children - Tidying up children's bedroom and play room - Keeping a vigilant eye on the children's activities, preparing them for school, helping them with homework and organizing their leisure activities Above all, I know how to keep the kids safe and amused in different healthy ways. I am also a very experienced pet sitter. I love animals very much and am very caring to the fur babies. I have mostly cared for large/small dogs and various breeds, such as German Shepherd’s, Labradors, an Old English Sheepadoodle, Golden Retrievers, Yorkie’s, and Dachshund’s. I understand your pets are important to you and they are to me as well. I am mindful of the needs of your pets and will treat them as my own.

Hello! My name is Ariana and I am a graduate student. I am offering child care, dog care, and household services. I have been babysitting since I was 12-13 years old watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids. I have been responsible for driving to/from school, crafts, driving to/from after-school activities, and completing chores. I love hanging out and doing activities that the children enjoy, while teaching life and communication skills that are age appropriate! (ex. maintaining a clean room, completing homework, communicating needs, etc.) For house sitting, I have been responsible for watering plants, collecting mail, and regularly checking in on the house when needed. I am comfortable with most pets, but am most familiar with dogs.
