About Marlena

Knowing I can positively influence a child's life is what drives my passion for caregiving. I bring a friendly and approachable demeanor to every interaction. My studies included Early Child Development coursework and psychology, and I have a previous career in child protective services. I am comfortable caring for up to two children and happily engage them with outdoor games, board games, and educational activities. I'm also very comfortable enforcing household rules. I communicate with parents via text or phone call, but always following their preferred method. I can assist with cooking, carpooling, light housekeeping, travel, and crafts. I have a car and am comfortable with pets. Ultimately, I hope to bring my enthusiasm and dedication to your family, creating a nurturing and fun environment for your children to thrive.
