About Rena

Experience: 10 yrs

If you are looking for a responsible, patient, playful, and experienced caregiver, then give me a call! I have extensive childcare and teaching experience. I love outdoor excursions and am very energetic, but also enjoy soft reading time, imaginative play, and crafts. I have years of baby - toddler care experience, and have taught kids from ages 3 - 18 in multiple classes such as preschool movement camps, elementary-aged dance classes, and high-school level English courses. I homeschooled my two kids and we had amazing adventures and creative endeavors along the way. My oldest is a Dean's List grad from UCSB, and my youngest just graduated Summa Cum Laude from UCLA. My availability is flexible. I have precious older relatives that I need to visit 1x per month, so I am unable to have full-time, year-round availability. Let's talk about your needs and hopefully we can find a schedule that works for both of us. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Rena is a real treasure! After an initial tour of how I care and comfort my newborn, Rena took over cuddling and interacting with my daughter. She figured out the baby carrier that I couldn't. And made sure baby stayed awake to eat all her formula. Rena has a great presence that was a great fit for me to feel quickly comfortable with her
