About Marilena

Hi! I'm Marilena (Mari) and I bring a unique, deeply personal perspective to childcare. As a parent to a son with Level 3 Autism, I have extensive, hands-on experience navigating non-verbal communication, sensory processing needs, and the importance of rigid routines. I am incredibly patient, calm under pressure, and understand how to provide the specialized support that neurodivergent children need to feel safe and understood. Whether your child needs help with transitions, specialized meal prep, or just a caregiver who truly 'gets' it, I am here to help."
