About Serina
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Over the last 18 years, it has been my enjoyment to come alongside families in helping bring to life their vision for their home! I try my best to create a safe space for children to learn to understand and communicate their needs as best they can at their age. I've found they do well with a balance of exploring outside, trying new activities, and quieter activities like reading, drawing, etc. Individualized care tailored to each child's uniqueness is important in helping develop their strengths in all areas. My last two previous positions lasted 5+ years. I have experience evolving my titles such as starting as a Newborn Care specialist, transitioning to Nanny, then Household Manager as well. If given the opportunity, I would love to get to know your family and see if it could be a great fit! *The two negative reviews posted are from a husband/wife I had to leave suddenly due to them being very verbally abusive to me and their child. They retaliated with these false reviews.

I have known Serina for over a decade now, and anyone who has met her would easily say how honest, dependable, flexible, accommodating, and loving she truly is! I met her through the preschool I sent my child at before, she was working there as a teacher's aid. My two year old son was in her class and every morning we would arrive, Serina would greet us with a warm smile and wide open arms for a big hug for my son! I would stand back and watch some at how he interacted with him, as well as how she interacted with all the other children, and I was amazed at how she put all the kids at ease, especially the ones who were upset their parents had left. She made sure that each child felt heard, seen, and cared for and that was with 18 kids in the class and only one other teacher! She is a gem and with how much my son loved her, I knew I needed to ask her to help outside the preschool. She did date nights for my husband and I, helped care for our cat Bubbles, and even offered to run errands!
