About Marlena

Experience: 20 yrs

I am a retired certified school teacher and taught first, fourth, and sixth grade for over 30 years. I live with my husband in South Lyon, Michigan. We enjoy traveling and spending time with family and friends. I am also certified Starbucks barista and enjoy cooking! I have extensive experience in early childhood development, having earned my Masters Degree from Wayne State University. I have been a Certified Teacher since 1994 in Elementary School K-5 and Middle School English & Science. I am passionate about learning, education, and helping young children develop and grow. I taught first grade in Detroit for 26+ years and 6th and 4th grade in Plymouth for the remainder of my teaching career.

Marlena was absolutely amazing. She helped my family with my son while I had to be out of town for 1 week keeping on schedule with all of his preschool and activities.. Even got him. Ice cream. My son loved her too, he talked about her to my family after she would drop him off. I would highly recommend her!
