About Marina

I'd describe my personality as empathetic & purposeful! I'm a classical pianist so I love to encourage creativity & self-expression while also maintaining structure & consistency. I enjoy working with kids because of their spirit, intelligence, and zest for life. As much as I love teaching and mentoring, I equally love everything I learn from them. I'm looking for a job where I can contribute in a meaningful way. Whether it be a great personality fit, shared passion for music & art, or mutual love to learn, I think it's important for kids to be around people who enrich their lives. I started working with kids being the oldest sister in a 4 sibling household! I have been babysitting since my early teens & have since worked with kids at community centers, mentorship programs, & nannying. In my spare time, I like to be outside with my dog! If I'm not outside, I'm practicing piano, drawing/painting, or doing yoga. My skills are building trust, & encouraging passions and hobbies!
