About Serena

Hello, my name is Serena and I'm 19 years old. I'm a college sophomore attending Western Oregon University, where I'm studying Aquarium Science. As the oldest cousin and sibling in my family, I've had a plethora of experiences in child care which have led me to want a big family of my own someday! I have hands-on experience caring for infants, including changing clothes, bottle feeding, and keeping them entertained! With older children, I've prepared meals, helped with homework, played games indoors and outdoors, assisted with bedtime routines, and participated in lots of activities! I believe communication is key when it comes to caring for children. Not only between the guardian(s) and I but the children as well! Whether the solution is simple or difficult I am always ready for the challenge! My goal is to create a safe, supportive, playful environment where kids will feel valued and cared for.
