About Mariela

Hi! I'm Mari, a student at CSULB who loves working with kids. I enjoy bringing creativity, energy, and a positive attitude to everything I do, whether it's helping with activities, projects, or just making kids feel comfortable and happy. I'm dependable, friendly, and enjoy encouraging children to explore, learn, and have fun in a safe and supportive environment. I love being around kids because every day is full of new discoveries and laughter, and I strive to make each day enjoyable and meaningful for them. I'd describe my personality as creative, nurturing, and positive! I've been around kids for most of my life, I grew up helping with my little brother and later worked at the YFC, where I supervised and engaged with kids of different ages. In my spare time, I love to bake, draw, and spend time with family!
