About Sarena
Experience: 9 yrs
Hi, I'm Sarena! I have my B. A. in Sociology, and I have 10 years of extensive (and eclectic) experience with kids ages infant-18+. I am currently a part-time kids yoga instructor, mom's helper, private tutor, and nanny + babysitter. I have worked at preschools, kids occupational therapy groups, summer camps, special education classrooms, and as a children's behavioral specialist. I have experience with disabled and neurodivergent kiddos, and have worked with behavioral challenges. I have a reliable car and am extremely communicative, organized, and compassionate. I love learning from kids unique experiences and perspectives on our world! I'm currently looking for part-time, (slightly) flexible work, ideally starting in January. I would love to connect and learn more about you and your kiddos, and potentially work together in the future. Thank you for your time reading a bit about me!
Most recent review
Sarena started watching our daughter when she was 7 weeks old. I truly do not know if we would have made it through the first year without her. She has been so incredible with our daughter and such a huge help to me assisting with various chores and errands around the house. She is kind, patient and most importantly - she is fully engaged and present when she is with our daughter. We cannot recommend her enough.
