About Marina

Hi, I'm Marina! I'm an energetic, playful, and open-minded individual, who brings a calm, grounded, and intentional nature to my caregiving. I'm very attuned to children's needs, prioritizing foundations built on trust, safety, and connection, which usually happens fairly quickly. I value honest communication and collaboration, and my caregiving approach is rooted in play, creativity, and curiosity, with a strong focus on children's social-emotional development and trauma-informed care. I am an animal lover who also enjoys supporting the whole family with things like errands, chores, meal prep, bath time, pet care; you name it! My long-term goal is to pursue a master's degree in school counseling. For now, I'm looking to connect with a family seeking part-time care as I transition fully out of the restaurant industry. A little more about me: I am very active, I play soccer and enjoy doing anything outdoors. I love traveling, hiking, art, and yoga.
