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!
Marina is one of the best child caregivers in the area. I have watched her teach children’s dance classes and have learned so much through her. She knows how to have fun and make every kid around her smile. At the same time, she is serious about learning and getting the job done. She is ALWAYS punctual and reliable. She is easy to communicate with and warm. And she knows how to multitask and roll with the punches which is especially helpful with the high unpredictability of children. Marina is a child care expert, having all the tools kids may need—calming breath games, silly exercise games, educational activities! I would highly recommend Marina to any parent or caregiver! It’s one of the best choices you could make!
