About Marlena

Experience: 7 yrs

I started babysitting when I was an early teen as I have always loved working with children. Since then I have experience as a summer camp counselor, as a student teacher at early care education programs, have received over 200 hours of mentored teaching practice with children under 3 years old, worked as a preschool teacher for one year, and was a caregiver for a child with disabilities for 3 years. Currently, I am pursuing an occupational therapy doctoral degree and aspire to work with young children. I have prior experience with early intervention as a volunteer (about 80 hours) and in the medical setting at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in the pediatric department. I am a full time student, currently completing my internship hours at an acute rehabilitation facility, so I am looking for additional work wi the children in the evenings or over the weekend!
