Marcelina $18 per hour for 1 child

Hey there! I’m a reliable and caregiver with a passion for supporting children of all backgrounds, including those who are neurodivergent or have more complex emotional and behavioral needs. I bring a calm, patient presence and focus on building trust and consistency for every child with whom I work. As a trans woman, I value creating a safe, inclusive, and affirming environment where every child feels respected, understood, and free to express themselves. I’m especially experienced working with K–12 children who may have challenging temperaments, sensory sensitivities, or unique communication styles.
