I have extensive experience caring for children of all ages, and I specialize in applied behavioral analysis. Currently, I work in a school setting, supporting autistic children and children with disabilities in their development. I create a fun, engaging, and safe environment that fosters both learning and growth. My approach emphasizes structure and developmentally enriching activities, using play-based techniques to make learning enjoyable. For instance, I might turn toys into counting tools or transform everyday moments into skill-building opportunities. I am a compassionate, patient, and dedicated caregiver who genuinely loves working with children. Since the age of 15, I have cared for children, including those with autism, ensuring they feel supported, valued, and empowered. My goal is to provide a nurturing and educational space where children can thrive emotionally, socially, and cognitively in the classroom and at home, ultimately building productive individuals who contribute positively to society.

“Ariana was awesome! She planned a fun day with my two daughters 5 and 2, was communcative, on time, and very sweet and reliable! Highly recommend!”

I’m a calm, organized, and caring individual with a deep passion for learning. I firmly believe that kindness and understanding our emotions can truly make a difference in the world. As a nanny, I find joy in nurturing children’s growth and development while fostering an environment of warmth, fun, and learning. I was a RBT, working with individuals in the autism spectrum. Currently, I’m a OTD student, pursuing a career as a pediatric occupational therapist . I’ve taken specialized courses in human biology, psychology, and child development that have expanded my understanding of how children grow physically, emotionally, and cognitively. I’m excited to continue building on this knowledge while connecting with and engaging children in meaningful ways. I love taking children outdoors to explore parks and nature, helping them develop a sense of wonder and adventure. Watching kids learn, grow, and experience the world around them is incredibly rewarding. I’m happy to provide references from my previous nanny positions and look forward to getting to know your family. Let’s connect and chat about how I can contribute to your child’s development and happiness!

“Amanda took care of our daughter for 2 years and was the most incredible caregiver. She's very reliable, hardworking, and has a natural ability to connect with children. I highly recommend her!”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
