Hi! My name's Marlene. I am passionate about childcare! I am 56 years old with four adult children-33 year old twins, a 27 year old and a 25 year old. I also have a 11 year old granddaughter who I adore and have been very involved in raising since birth. I have always loved children and babysat part-time throughout junior high, high school, and college. I worked for one family for over 7 years and provided childcare on a full time basis as an adult for over 5 years. I studied early childhood education at Ball State University where I was also an assistant preschool teacher. I am a very positive, fun, and caring person who loves being around children. I also have two cats and have had dogs so I am very comfortable around animals as well. I am CPR/First-Aid and Safe Sleep certified, fully vaccinated, safety conscious, responsible, Read more love to read, do activities, take walks, and utilize every teachable moment that I can. Being a nanny has been a wonderful experience for me and I hope to find a position where I can develop a great relationship with another family. I am excellent at my job because it is my passion, I am experienced, and I truly care about the families that I work for!
