I have worked with special needs children all my life and prefer to work with children who are diagnosed as being autistic or on the autism spectrum. I worked at St. Peter's Child Development Center and the DePaul Institute for the hearing impaired. Most recently I was employed as a research assistant in the Neurophysiology department at Carnegie Mellon University. Our department worked with children who had been diagnosed with autism. I loved it. I am a mother myself and my husband and I have a 5-year-old daughter and live in Munhall.

    We LOVE Marina! She is simply the best nanny we could of hired, she is caring, thoughtful, loving, nurturing, eager to please and a great mom to her own daughter. She cares so much for our little boy. She truly always has the best interest of the child in mind. She watches him in her home and we could not ask for a better home. We are so lucky we found Marina and she was able to help us in such short notice.
