Hi! My name is Marina. I am an energetic, responsible, and detail-oriented person offering child care, pet care, and household services. For child care, I enjoy engaging kids of all ages in creative outdoor activities, active play, painting, and arts and crafts. I'm also happy to help with creative. When it comes to pet care, I come from a family with 4 dogs and 5 cats, so pet care comes naturally to me. I love animals of all sizes and breeds, including large dogs and pets that shed. I can help with dog walking (especially long outdoor walks!), feeding, playing, and general care. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to help your family!
