Hi! I'm Marina, a warm, calm, and dependable caregiver with several years of experience working with children in both home and school settings. I'm currently a preschool teacher working with toddlers (1. 5-2. 5), and I really love supporting this age through play, routines, and those little everyday moments that help them grow. I'm looking to pick up some extra hours on weekdays (evenings) and weekends, so I'm open to occasional babysitting or more regular support depending on what you need. I believe in respectful, responsive care and creating a space where children feel safe, seen, and free to explore. Families often describe me as intuitive, reliable, and very in tune with children's emotional and developmental needs. I'm bilingual (English/Portuguese) and value clear communication, consistency, and kindness in the relationships I build with both children and families.
Since the very first day my baby girl was born, Marina has been by our side (and I truly don’t know how I would have managed without her). She has been coming to our home at least four times a week, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and has become an essential part of our family’s routine. She takes care of everything with incredible patience, love, and professionalism. From changing diapers, helping with naps, bath time, and dressing, to keeping my baby entertained and happy throughout the day. I can always count on her calm energy and her natural ability to connect with my little one. What makes Marina truly special is her dependability and genuine care. She doesn’t just do her job and she goes above and beyond. She even helps with our dog: feeding, walking, and playtime, always making sure he feels included and loved too. Having her around has given me peace of mind and the confidence that my baby is in the best hands possible. She’s not only a wonderful professional but also a warm, trustworthy person who brings joy and balance to our home. We’re so grateful to have her with us until December 2025, when our baby turns four months old, and we’ll always appreciate the care and love she’s given to our family. She also helps me with general chores at home! Highly recommended 💖
