About Marla

Experience: 10 yrs

My name is Marla, and I am pleased to offer my services as a childcare provider. I have experience supporting children's growth by creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment that fosters their physical, emotional, and cognitive development. My work is based on personalized attention, constant monitoring of the child's well-being, and the implementation of age-appropriate activities that promote exploration, play, and early stimulation, naturally incorporating the introduction of Spanish as a second language. I encourage learning through songs, games, and daily routines that spark curiosity and interest in a new language. I always prioritize safety, affection, and hygiene as fundamental pillars of my care, ensuring that parents feel confident that their children are in good hands. I am available to discuss your family's specific needs and provide responsible, reliable, and personalized care that adapts to your routines.

She is truly exceptional and has far exceeded our expectations as a caregiver. From day one, she became a natural extension of our family. She’s been amazing with both of our daughters from infancy (as young as 5 months) through toddlerhood and preschool age. Marla brings patience, structure, and creativity to each day, engaging the girls in age appropriate learning and fun activities. She’s also been a huge help in establishing consistent nap and sleep routines, and even prepares healthy meals and snacks for the kids. We trust her completely and feel incredibly lucky to have found her. Any family would be fortunate to have Marla in their lives!
