Hi moms and dads! My name is Aliana, and I have over six years of experience caring for children from newborns to age 14. I genuinely love what I do, I’m warm, reliable, and easygoing, and I enjoy building real connections with both kids and parents. I have a creative and adventurous side, and I love planning fun activities, getting outdoors, and keeping kids engaged with games, crafts, and little adventures around the city. At the same time, I’m responsible, organized, and always focused on creating a safe and happy environment where kids can be themselves.At the moment, I’m looking for temporary babysitting opportunities through the end of June. After that, I’ll be seeking more consistent, full-time positions through mid-August. I’m flexible, dependable, and happy to support families during this time!
