I am a prek sped teacher and willing to work with special needs children or many at once but price may increase for multiples not special needs special prices. However, I want to have clear expectations. I am ell certified and almost a learning behavior specialist. I love art outdoors science and sports! I love to teach through hands on methods and do not raise my voice to children unless an emergency. If this happens, I’ll explain why to the child and tell you. I’m comfortable with many little ones. Thanks!

“Excellent babysitter. I like her communication and trustworthiness. I highly recommend her. ”
Hi! My name’s Marinna, I’m a student athlete at the University of Illinois Chicago! I’m a very reliable, on-time, hardworking person. Growing up in an intense sport taught me how to manage stressful situations, as well as staying organized. Working with kids or animas is a way I love spending my free time, and making an earning for myself. I’ve always loved being around kids. My summer jobs always consist of being a nanny, last year I worked with a family of 4 children all summer. I also work with families year round, I’ve had experience with three-year olds and one-year olds. I even was a teacher assistant in a third grade classroom, which taught me so much on managing so many kids at once. All of these experiences helped me understand a lot about how to value consistency, patience, and attentiveness-ensuring children’s safety. Whether I'm assisting with bedtime, planning activities, or simply ensuring that your child feels taken care of, I’d love to help!
“Very professional and responsible!”
