Hi there! My name is Monica, and I'm thrilled to offer my services as a nanny, babysitter or pet sitter here on Care. com. With 5 years of experience in childcare and pet care, I'm passionate about providing compassionate and reliable support to families and their loved ones. My approach is to be patient, attentive, and creative with children. I believe in creating a safe and nurturing environment, fostering independence, promoting educational activities. I take pride in communicating with families, creating engaging activities and providing empathetic support. I have been a caretaker for my family and friends most of my life. I feel like taking care of children is what I was meant to do. I have also owned dogs all my life and love animals.
