Hi, My name is Marlena, I'm 28 years old and i'm a sitter in San Jose and area. Originally I'm from Poland. I move to Philadelphia PA with my family when i was 16 years old and since than i was making extra packet money by babysitting my nieces and nephews. Recently I graduated from Community College of Philadelphia with Architecture Degree and i moved to San Jose. For the last 8 years i was a part time babysitter back in Philadelphia and during that time I seriously realize that love hanging out with children. I have experience with infants and all the ages.They are so full of amazing energy and such a joy to be around. I am passionate about children because you can learn a lot from them, like how to enjoy the simple things in life. I am new to the area and this website ( that's Read more why i don't have many feed-backs or comments) and i will like to get to know the local families and their kids. I own a car and have clean driving record. I am very responsible and fun to be around. I am an out door person and I love interacting with kids, playing games, and doing outdoor activities with them. I'm enjoy the outdoors, skiing, hiking, camping, playing sports and traveling. I look forward to sitting for your child! I am certificate with Child/Infant/Adult CPR. Less

We recently found Marlena on Sittercity and consider ourselves very lucky to have her. She is very resourceful and needed very minimal explanations to find around the house everything that she needed to care for, entertain, and prepare lunches/snacks to my children (two toddlers, a boy and a girl). The children immediately liked her and wanted to play with her. I work from my home office and on her first day with us, Marlena and my kids were in the adjacent playroom inside the home or in the yard, and I could hear the three of them laughing, talking and enjoying their time together. Marlena is very dependable and I feel very comfortable leaving her in charge.

Marlena helped us out on very short notice, and our son Kian had a fun time. She walked him to a local park and helped reignite his fascination with lego creation.
