About Serina

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hi! I collectively have over 18 years of both volunteer and paid experience caring for children of all ages and in multiple settings. I've babysat, worked at a day camp, worked at a preschool for about 3 years, and have been nannying since then. I personally try my best to create a safe space for every child I care for in order for them to learn more of who they are and navigate that. Communication is very important to me and I help each child learn to understand and communicate their needs as best they can at their age. I've found they do well with a balance of exploring outside, trying new activities and quieter activities like reading, drawing, etc. Individualized care tailored to each child's uniqueness is important! English is my first language, I know how to cook, clean, and do arts and crafts. I am willing to travel, go on field trips, make meals, clean, do laundry, pick up and drop off for school. I am a very open and kind soul, looking for a nice family to work for and with.

I have known Serina for over a decade now, and anyone who has met her would easily say how honest, dependable, flexible, accommodating, and loving she truly is! I met her through the preschool I sent my child at before, she was working there as a teacher's aid. My two year old son was in her class and every morning we would arrive, Serina would greet us with a warm smile and wide open arms for a big hug for my son! I would stand back and watch some at how he interacted with him, as well as how she interacted with all the other children, and I was amazed at how she put all the kids at ease, especially the ones who were upset their parents had left. She made sure that each child felt heard, seen, and cared for and that was with 18 kids in the class and only one other teacher! She is a gem and with how much my son loved her, I knew I needed to ask her to help outside the preschool. She did date nights for my husband and I, helped care for our cat Bubbles, and even offered to run errands!
