Mariana
Hi! My name is Mariana, and I’m currently a college student. I have a strong passion for working with children and creating a safe, fun, and caring environment for them. I have hands-on childcare experience, including caring for multiple children at once. I’ve helped look after both infants and older kids, so I’m comfortable with tasks like feeding, diaper changes, nap routines, and keeping children engaged in age-appropriate activities. I’ve also had experience teaching and guiding my younger niece when she was little, which helped me develop patience, communication skills, and creativity when working with kids. I enjoy doing activities like reading, playing games, arts and crafts, and helping children learn through fun experiences. My goal is always to make sure children feel safe, happy, and supported while in my care.
