Hello! I am an youth mentor and artist in Columbus. I have supported youth in a variety of settings over the past ten years and am comfortable with infants through teenagers. I've taught art, cooking, gardening, science, math, social studies, language arts, and nature-based exploration for afterschool programs, summer camps, and as a school teacher. I am patient, caring, and compassionate with youth while also maintaining structures and routines. I work well with parents and caregivers to meet the needs of your specific family. I am organized, punctual, and clean, respectful, and a good communicator. Please feel free to send me booking requests or a direct message of inquiry. Thank you!
Hi! I'm a part-time student with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for working with children. I spent several years as a camp counselor working with special needs children through high school and college, which gave me a deep appreciation for patient, attentive, and individualized care. I have a background in engineering which means I'm reliable, detail oriented, and great at problem solving. I also grew up in a Chinese household with Mandarin as my first language, which I'm happy to incorporate naturally into our time together if that's something your family values. I'm calm, warm, and genuinely enjoy engaging with kids through play, creative activities, reading, and exploring. I believe every child deserves to feel seen and supported. I have a pediatric CPR, AED and first aid certification, and am taking child development courses. I’m happy to provide references :)
I just graduated from school with my Doctorate in Occupational therapy and am looking for extra babysitting to help with paying off my student loans. I work in early childhood mental health and school-based OT. I got my undergraduate degree from Southern Oregon University in Ashland, Oregon, with a major in Theater, emphasis in set construction. I also have a minor in Early Childhood Development. Before COVID I worked at Cal Shakespeare in Berkeley/Orinda. I have been working with children for the past 18 years as a date night sitter, a nanny, a childcare worker, and a preschool teacher. I have experience with all ages. I am CPR certified, and I recently just refreshed my certification. I love working with all types of children. I love to play games (inside and outside), watch movies, build forts, and I especially love arts and crafts with the kiddos.
Hello! My name is Marleni and I love working with kids. I tutor kids in math, and babysit whenever possible. I know how to change diapers, cook, and entertain kids with books and games. Please feel free to reach out if you ever have a question. I hope you give me the opportunity to work with you. I also speak fluent Spanish, and would be willing to give lessons.
“Thanks Marleni!”
