- Comfortable with pets
- Has a car
Hi! I began babysitting at the age of 13 and have enjoyed caring for children for ~20 years, now also a doting auntie. I'm also now a physician, in-between jobs. So I'm looking for additional high-value work in the meantime, and I genuinely love providing child and home care for hardworking families needing extra support. In support of my education and experience, I also have undergraduate and graduate training in psychology, bioethics, and advocacy, a deep interest in early childhood education, and experience in behavior change counseling from a biopsychosocial-spiritual perspective, as well. I have a deep humility in understanding that care for children and in the home is no less important than my other professional work, and a deep knowledge in knowing that it can provide an essential freedom of movement/schedule which my work in medicine cannot always provide. Please note, however, that hiring me as a babysitter does Read more NOT engage a physician-patient relationship, and I act through these referrals as a babysitter/nanny only and not as a physician. I'm also happy to do light housekeeping work. I look forward to hearing from you!

She was very professional and very sweet. One of our dogs had just gone into surgery the day before and needed extra TLC. Arielle made sure she took her pills and kept an eye on her stitches. We weren't gone that long, but Arielle made the effort to come twice a day for our girl's pills. I'm so sad to see her move, but I know the east coast will have a gem! Good Luck!

Arielle did an awesome job! She was very professional throughout the whole job. Arielle was tasked with showing up at my house to feed and clean up after my cat on a daily basis. She kept me posted and even sent me pictures to assure me that all was ok. I will be looking for her again when I go on my next vacation. I have no complaints.

Arielle was great! She is kind, honest and trustworthy. She took excellent care of my dog (a pit bull) and my daughter's pet gecko while we were out of town. Our pets were cared for lovingly and responsibly. I didn't have to worry about a thing! I highly recommend Arielle for ANY of your sitting needs. I feel very lucky have met her!

Anyone who is able to have Arielle take care of their animals, children or home is LUCKY. She is very professional, very sweet and kind. I have two kitties that are still in the "kitten stage" and very different. One an extravert who thinks he is part dog and the other very shy and an observer. Arielle won them over on our first meeting. I was gone for 2 1/2 weeks and my shy kitten had her birthday while I was gone and Arielle made her day special and sent me/my family the cutest phone videos. We loved it. Arielle vacuumed, washed rugs, swept up after my animals so my home was exactly as I left it. My animals were in the best care and I recommend her for any job. She is very reliable and just a gem! K.

We really like Arielle. She sat for our infant daughter in the evening for a few date nights. She is always punctual and reliable and has a very nice personality. Our 9 month old daughter, who is currently going though a phase of freaking out at strangers, was fascinated by Arielle and didn't seem nervous at all around her.

Arielle was responsible and took great care of our little furry baby. She left the house clean and even sorted the mail for us. She was a great help and we would definitely recommend her.

We were extremely impressed with Arielle when she interviewed for our nanny position. She was poised and handled herself quite well. She seemed great with our daughter and with our two dogs. The only reason we did not hire her was our decision to go with a live-in nanny and Arielle was looking strictly for a live-out position. Had we decided on a live-out, we're sure Arielle would've been great and that's why we are happy to recommend her. Michael and Ewa

Arielle has helped me watch my newborn and 2.5 year old. She arrived on time and was very sweet to my kids. My son really enjoyed playing her. Arielle responds to my requests for help quickly and seems like a very responsible person.

Arielle has been babysitting for my two girls ages 2 and 6 on a regular basis for the past several months. Both girls adore her and always enjoy her company. She is a warm, loving and responsible babysitter who always tries to be flexible in meeting our needs. As an evening babysitter she was given a lot of tasks within a short time-period such as homework help, feeding, bathing and bedtime prep but always managed to get everything done.
