About Ariana

I'm 31 years old and have been caring for children since I took my first babysitting course at the YMCA at age 13, so you could say since I was a kid myself! Since then, I've helped parents raise children of every age ranging from 9 days old to 16 years. Additionally, I studied Biobehavioral Health at Penn State wherein I focused on childhood development and education. I worked under a chiropractor and practiced massage therapy before I realized I didn't need patient care hours if I didn't want to work in the healthcare field anymore because I genuinely enjoy working directly with families! A little about me: I knit, crochet, dance several styles and I helped start a community garden in 2020 called the Emergent Abundance Farming Collective! I've led forest school and educational farming experiences for families involved in the nonprofit and welcome the opportunity to lead more for your family too if interested!
