Meet Mareena
- Comfortable with pets

I grew up with a large family so taking care of children has always been second nature. When I was 18 I traveled to California to help my sister in nannying her twin infants from 430am to 7pm for about 3 months and keep up with simple house maintenance. Before that, when my nieces were too young to be on their own, I would babysit them as well as neighbors kids in the area. Not only do I have a wide range of experience with different ages but I’m also a huge pet lover!! I usually do dog sitting for a close friend and now cat sitting. I’m also experienced in providing medical attention to animals such as giving medicines that are needed including chemo to tasks as simple as trimming nails.
