About Malena

Experience: 10 yrs

Finding the right caregiver for your family is important, and I'm happy to share a bit about myself. For the past 10 years, I've enjoyed supporting families by providing reliable childcare. My approach is patient and calm, and I love engaging children with creative, educational games that make learning fun. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children of varying ages, including infants and toddlers. I prioritize clear communication with parents, always following your preferred method to keep you informed about your child's day. Enforcing household rules is something I'm very comfortable with. I'm also happy to help with meal preparation, light housekeeping, crafts, and swimming supervision. I have First Aid Training and CPR Training. While I'm comfortable with pets, I'm also happy to help with other tasks. I'm eager to bring my experience and caring nature to your family, and I hope to hear from you soon!

Malena is an amazing caregiver. She is reliable, punctual, and extremely trustworthy. From day one, she showed genuine care and attention, always being gentle, patient, and kind. She provided outstanding care for my autistic child, showing great sensitivity, understanding, and dedication to his individual needs. She has a natural way of making both children and parents feel comfortable and safe. You can truly tell that she cares deeply about what she does, and it shows in every detail. I highly recommend Malena to any family looking for someone dependable, loving, and attentive.
