About Monica
Experience: 15 yrs
I have 15+ years working and volunteering with children. I've always loved encouraging and caring for them; helping them know their unique intrinsic value. It's a treasure to be there as they learn, sing, laugh, play, and reach new milestones. I take my work seriously, yet approach it with creativity and fun. I know from personal experience that being a parent is like having your heart walking around outside of your body, so it's an honor for me to be entrusted with the care of your most precious possession. I've raised two of my own, tutored others, and even did some homeschooling. So if you are looking for someone who is knowledgeable and fun, caring and trustworthy, responsible and experienced, and genuinely loves being with your child, please contact me. I have cared for infants, toddlers, twins, preschoolers, elementary-aged children and "tweens," including one the autism spectrum. I love them all. I am very pet friendly, and my hours and days are flexible.
Most recent review
Monica cared for our 9-month-old over several days, and we were consistently impressed by her warmth, professionalism, and experience. She has a calming, pleasant demeanor and handled our baby with total confidence and ease. Our baby was incredibly comfortable playing with her, and we noticed he even had better nights of sleep after spending time with her—a true testament to the care and calm she brings. She is just a great soul to be around. As new parents, we found her insights and suggestions incredibly helpful, and she always respected our routines and rules. She also went above and beyond by helping with household cleaning, which we greatly appreciated. Monica is a wonderful, trustworthy person, and we’re grateful to have found her. We will definitely continue working with her and recommend her highly to any family.
