Marlen $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m Marlen — I grew up playing soccer and now coach youth teams, so I have a lot of experience working with kids and keeping them engaged and active. As the oldest of four siblings, I helped a lot with taking care of my siblings, and I’ve also done childcare before. I know how to keep little ones safe, entertained, and on track with their routines. In my day job I manage complex scheduling and operations for a healthcare organization, so I’m organized, reliable, and dependable. Outside of work, I love music, travel, and staying active. Looking forward to connecting with your family!
