About Marina

Hi! I'm a senior undergraduate student at UMass Amherst studying biology on a pre-med track with several years of hands-on childcare experience. I've cared for multiple families with 2-3 children at a time, ranging in age from 1 to 14. I've helped with school pick-ups, after-school care, date nights, full-day care, and transportation to activities. I'm comfortable managing busy schedules, caring for children of different ages at once, and creating a safe, fun, and structured environment. I truly enjoy spending quality time with children, especially away from screens & love encouraging learning, creativity, and outdoor play. I'm patient, attentive, dependable, and value building trusting relationships with both children and parents. I'm also bilingual and happy to help children practice Spanish. I can assist with cooking, light housekeeping, organizing, transportation, and pet care. I have my own car, a clean driving record, and I'm comfortable around large dogs.
