About Irena

Throughout high school and college, I was very involved in babysitting within my neighborhood and community. And as the oldest of nine grandchildren, I naturally became the go-to family babysitter and have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to early teens (0-14 years old). In addition to childcare experience, I have a strong medical background. I earned my Bachelors in Biology and Masters in Biomedical Science and worked in healthcare for 3 years at an Urology Clinic in Virginia Beach. I am also planning to begin nursing school this spring, as I am passionate about caring for and supporting others. I recently moved to Columbia and am excited to connect with local families. I am available to start at the end of February and would love to discuss your family's needs if you think I may be a good fit!
