About Marina

Hi! My name is Marina, and I'm a dedicated, nurturing caregiver with a strong background in early childhood education and creative programming. I'm currently pursuing a master's degree in education at DePaul University, and I bring years of experience working with children of all ages in schools leading music and dance enrichment programs. My strengths lie in creating engaging, developmentally appropriate activities, fostering social-emotional growth, and providing consistent, compassionate care. Whether I'm leading a dance class, helping with homework, or navigating big feelings, I prioritize patience, safety, and open communication. I'm looking for a role where I can support a family with structure, creativity, and warmth-while continuing to grow in my work with young learners. I'd love to connect and see how I can be a great fit for your family!
