Hey! Im a senior at Loyola University, New Orleans. I’m fully bilingual in English and Spanish. I’ve been camp counselor and have had the responsibility of over 10 kids at once, making sure they’re safe and having fun at the same time! I’ve always been around kids, I come from a big family where most of my cousins are younger and I had to babysit them. I love kids and enjoy trying to find ways to make them be happy!

Hi! My name is Adrianna, and I’m a theatre student with extensive experience working with children in both academic and creative environments. I spent my summer directing and coaching students at a theatre camp, helping them develop confidence, collaboration, and communication. My work in that setting has prepared me well for roles as both a nanny and substitute teacher. I enjoy engaging with kids, whether I’m helping with homework, reinforcing classroom routines, reading together, or encouraging imagination and emotional expression. I’m responsible, punctual, and highly reliable, and families can expect clear communication and a calm, caring presence. In addition to childcare, I am comfortable assisting with schedules, schoolwork, and structured learning time, making me a strong fit for families looking for academic support or someone capable of stepping into substitute teaching roles. As someone studying theatre and communication, I bring patience, empathy, and creativity to every interaction. I love helping students feel seen, supported, and confident in who they are. I look forward to supporting your family and making your child’s day safe, fun, and enriching!
