Marina’s Bio

Hello, I’m Marina Garcia — a caregiver by calling, a mother by nature, and someone who finds deep joy in helping people feel safe, seen, and supported. For over 20 years, I’ve cared for children, families, and elders with the same dedication I’ve poured into raising my own. I bring warmth, structure, and a deep sense of calm into the homes I serve, offering care that’s rooted in presence, patience, and trust.

My journey began in Mexico, where I trained and worked as a registered nurse before moving to the United States to build a life centered around family. I became a citizen, raised four children with love and intention, and shaped my path around being available for the people who needed me most. Along the way, I earned my CNA certification and became certified in CPR and First Aid — strengthening my ability to care across generations, from newborns to elders.

One of my most meaningful roles was serving as Lead Preschool Teacher and Infant Supervisor at a private Christian academy. I took that position while my children were in school, allowing me to stay close to them while doing the work I’ve always loved — nurturing growth, building trust, and creating calm, structured environments where children thrive.

Over the years, I’ve also worked independently as an entrepreneur in both freight transport and financial services. Flexibility has always mattered to me — not for convenience, but so I can give my full attention where it counts. Whether I’m caring for a baby, supporting a busy parent, or helping an elder feel safe and comfortable, I bring a full heart, steady hands, and a clear sense of responsibility.

I’m someone children naturally feel safe with. I’m grounded, intuitive, and I know how to create peaceful rhythms that support both the child and the home. I believe in gentle guidance, honest communication, and showing up consistently. Whether your household is quiet and structured or full of creative energy, I adapt with care and clarity — always tuned in to the needs of the moment.
