About Marialena

Hi! My name is Marialena, and I'm currently studying Child Development and Family Sciences at Cal State Long Beach. I come from a very close and family oriented family and have grown up helping care for my younger siblings and cousins, so being around children has always felt very natural to me. I also have professional experience as a preschool teacher, where I gained hands on experience with routines, play based learning, crafts and activities, and creating a safe and loving environment for little ones. I'm patient, responsible, energetic, and truly love making kids feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. I'd love to become someone your family can trust and your children are genuinely excited to spend time with!
