This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 10 yrs
My name is Marina, I love working with kids. I'm very passionate, caring and loving. I would do anything to see all kids happy and smiling. I love playing with them, making crafts with them and helping them in what they really love. I have been working with kids for more than 10 years and is the best thing in the world. I am a Certified Nurse Assistant. I have worked as a CNA for 4 years. Also, I have work as a nanny and caregiver for many years. I feel skilled in creating fun, engaging, and educational activities while demonstrating a priority for children's safety and well-being.

We employed Marina for over a year to care for our son who was 18 mos through 2+ years old. She was great with him, and we were sorry to let her go when he started full-time daycare. (Please note Marina is basically Spanish-speaking so it is helpful to have a working understanding of Spanish for communication.) She is extremely dependable, always on time, and trustworthy. She took our boy out to the park almost every day, and played with him at home as well. She fed him meals and was able to get him to eat things he would otherwise refuse to eat. More recently he was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, which explains some of the challenges we've had. In retrospect it's amazing how she was able to keep him active and happy. Additionally, while he napped she would keep busy cleaning and tidying up other rooms, creating order out of chaos. We would absolutely bring Marina back in a heartbeat!
