About Marina

Finishing up work with a family where I helped raise kids, I will be looking for a new family this Fall. For the past 25 years, I've been a taking care of kids around Chicago and Kenilworth areas and have excellent references from all. With me, kids are engaged and involved. When we are on the playground, all other other kids recognize and flock to me seeing how I play with kids in my care. My approach is full of love and enthusiasm, with the goal to open up kids to their own interests and talents. We play creative games that encourage thinking and imagination, create art, walk and play outdoors, read together, learn news skills and develop healthy habits. Parents get detailed written & photo and video accounts of how day was spent. I am punctual and dependable. I am lead very healthy and active lifestyle, and happy to help with kids' meals (I love to cook!) and organizing the home/ cleaning. Looking for a family with one or two kids that would need my help part time.
