About Ariel

I'd describe my personality as compassionate, patient, creative. I like working with kids because nothing warms my heart more than seeing a child's unbridled excitement when they master a concept or want to share something they've learned. I'm looking for a job that fosters creativity and open communication, and is flexible. I started working with kids when I was 16. I later became a developmental gymnastics coach, a mental health tech for teens, a nanny, and a certified behavioral specialist. In my spare time, I like to spend time with my younger sisters, hike, weight lift, and read. One thing you should know about me is I love getting the entire family involved in some projects as a way to promote bonding, communication skills, and collaboration. My skills include active listening, excellent age appropriate communication, and a good sense of humor.
