Ms. Rena

[rih-NAY] — My name is pronounced like Renée.

Birthday: April 9th

Hometown: Miami, FL

Favorite Crayola color: Red

Background: I started my childcare journey in 2017! I've worked in daycares and as an in-home babysitter. I've worked with kids with special needs such as autism, allergies, and minor learning disabilities. I also have completed the 45-Hour DCF Training.

On her own, she’s cared for children as young as: 5 months old

Future plans: In a couple years I would hope to have not only opened my daycare but to also partnered with an orphanage to help provide resources to kids in need!

When she’s not babysitting: I'm probably studying or hanging out with friends.

Defining quote: "The best way to make children good is to make them happy." - Oscar Wilde

I met Rena when she was a Teacher’s Assistant at the Early Childhood Program at our school. She would often express her love for kids and that showed daily. She never had a problem when it came to helping one of the kids whether it was helping them with an activity that the teacher assigned or because they were crying. She always went above and beyond for them.

Any time she was scheduled to babysit the kids were always so excited to see her. She seemed to have no problem helping them with the little class activities they would have to take home. She also never had a problem helping last minute when needed. Overall she was a great babysitter and they loved her.
