About Mariana

My name is Mariana. I am a graduate of Pratt Institute of Design with a major in Fine arts. I grew up the oldest of 5 siblings who I helped take care of while my parents worked, as well as having been a babysitter throughout high school and most of college. My first paid job was looking after 2 siblings; a 4-year-old little girl and her 9-year-old brother. I was also a live in nanny briefly for a period of 2 months during the summer of 2018 for a family with 2 preteen daughters of 11 and 13. My hobbies include drawing, painting, reading, and I am a big fan of the game of chess. I have had the pleasure of teaching many a kid to play. I am attentive, kind, and understanding. I believe patience is my biggest asset, for my years as an artist and my upbringing have taught me that anything worth doing is worth doing with care and patience.
