Hi, I'm Marleen! I am a warm, dependable, and experienced childcare professional with over 20 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children. I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have a strong background in child development, including experience caring for children with special needs. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and certified in CPR and First Aid. I enjoy creating age-appropriate activities that encourage learning, creativity, and development through reading, music, educational games, arts and crafts, imaginative play, and outdoor activities. A child's health, safety, and well-being are always my highest priorities. I can also assist with healthy meal preparation, children's laundry, bathing, potty training, and keeping children's spaces organized. I value open communication with parents and strive to provide a loving, nurturing, and dependable environment.
Marlene was nanny for our two young children and she was such a kind, caring, thoughtful, patient and attentive partner. She was amazing with the kids; frequently did art projects and activities she planned herself with them all the time, including English and Spanish lessons. We really benefitted from her years of childcare experience, both in a home and more formal settings. She's also just a really sweet person. I still keep the paintings she made with them in my office.
