Hi there! My name is Marina and I am looking for occasional babysitting jobs for a little extra cash! Originally from California, I recently moved to Denver to be closer to family and to work in the field I am passionate about, forensic psychology. My other interests include reading good books, hiking in rainy weather, and trying new restaurants! I have been babysitting for about 15 years now, having started in junior high school babysitting for family members and friends. I have experience caring for toddlers, elementary school-aged children and adolescents. I am punctual, respectful and responsible, and I assure you that if I am babysitting for you, your child is in great hands! I like to have fun and be silly, while also setting limits and ensuring your child's safety. Please feel free to contact me with any questions! I am available weeknights and weekends, especially in the evening. Thank you!

I absolutely love kids at all ages, and I’m a sucker for new borns! When I was young, I used to babysit all of the neighborhood kids and get nanny jobs with close friends, neighbors, and family. I am a black belt in karate and used to teach the toddler class after school. My instructor chose me because the kiddos loved me! As a single mom with my oldest (who is now 19), and him having life threatening asthma from birth, I was very hands on and hyper attentive to his needs. Being the sole person responsible for his care, medication, routines, and lifestyle activities within his capacity, I was very patient, loving, and supportive with him physically, mentally, and emotionally. It wasn’t easy but I loved being there for him and I still do! I have an almost 4 year old toddler now and I’m very hands on with him as well. As a certified Life Coach who specializes in emotional care and regulation, I work with mom’s and families to heal relational trauma and help them to create healthy dynamics between the parent and children, as well as helping mom’s especially build deep connections with their kids and find healthy ways to manage meltdowns and tantrums through connection vs correction and harsh punishments. It is a deep passion of mine to work with families and offer support through nanny services as well as creating a peaceful home environment for everyone in the household. Anything I can do to make life easier for you, I’m open for it!
