About Marlena
Experience: 10 yrs

My name is Marlena. I am a Nanny with over 13 years of experience. I really enjoy taking care of children. For me it's not just a job it's what I'm passionate about and it shows as I am very caring, nurturing and dedicated and parents and children love me. I have a reliable car, great references on care. com as well as recommendation letters, I have a detailed background check and driving record check on my profile with care. com available to view upon request/hiring. I am also CPR and First Aid certified and are COVID vaccinated. I studied psychology for over two years. I am also a true animal lover and would love to take care of yours if you have one! I look forward to hearing from you, thanks!

Marlena was excellent for our family, our circumstances unfortunately just changed! She was so attentive to our son (6M). She played, sang, and engaged him during wake windows and was very intentional about doing age appropriate activities with him. She was diligent about tracking his care in a shared app, and went above and beyond doing household tasks while our son was napping. We are sad to see her go but highly recommend her to any family looking for care.
