Hi! I'm Arianna, an English major at Seton Hall University with a passion for teaching and helping young people grow. I love creating and building things, and I especially love reading — so story time and hands-on activities like painting and block-building are some of my favorite ways to keep kids engaged and having fun. I have hands-on childcare experience as an overnight caregiver for my nephew, where I managed his full nightly routine — bathing, meals, and supporting his potty training — and later helped him with homework as he got older. I've also worked with children ages 3–5 through an afterschool enrichment program, and I currently tutor college students in math and business courses, so I'm comfortable supporting kids at a range of ages and stages. Whether it's reading together, building something new, or just being someone a kid feels safe with, I care about making sure the children I watch feel supported, engaged, and valued.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Biology, I’m CPR certified, and I’m currently in an accelerated nursing program, so safety is always my top priority.

Whether it’s helping with homework, keeping little ones entertained, preparing simple meals, or sticking to bedtime routines, I’m happy to jump in wherever I’m needed. I know how important it is to leave your children with someone you trust, and I’ll always make sure they feel safe, cared for, and have fun while you’re away.
