*****Available after 01/19/26***** Hi! I'm Marina, originally from Brazil and living in the U. S. since 2018. I've worked with children for several years in both home and school settings (teens) and truly love supporting their growth, curiosity, and confidence! I believe in calm, respectful, and responsive care-creating moments of connection where children feel safe, seen, and free to explore. I completed the Infant and Toddler Development and Care at UCLA Extension and am now pursuing my Early Childhood Education Certificate at UC San Diego Extended Studies - Graduation expected for Summer 2026. Families describe me as warm, reliable, and intuitive. I'm bilingual (English and Portuguese), fully vaccinated, and will have current CPR/First Aid certification in January 2026. I'm excited to continue doing what I love as I begin a new chapter in San Diego.
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 💖
