About Malena

Hello! My name is Malena, and I'm 23 years old. I graduated from University of California, Santa Cruz with a degree in Psychology and Community Studies and a minor in Education. I have a strong passion for working with children and helping them learn, grow, and have fun. I have over four years of experience babysitting two boys from ages 2 to 7 and one year of tutoring a 5th grader with a learning disability. I love planning crafts, reading stories, and creating activities that spark curiosity and encourage learning. I also help kids build good habits, like cleaning up after themselves, and always leave the house tidy. I'm fluent in English and Spanish and love teaching kids new words in Spanish through play. I have my own reliable transportation, a flexible schedule, and value being both a caring and dependable support for families. I look forward to working with you and your little ones!
