Meet Monica
- Comfortable with pets
- Has a car
I have been a mother's helper since I was 10 y/o and a babysitter starting at 13. I have experience with newborns, multiples, and children of all ages - as well as some special needs. I am a clear communicator, attentive, and have a gift for knowing what's wrong. I am a great listener and love to teach. I am quite active, and if you feel comfortable - I will take the children out on walks, to the park, or out on adventures to museums and zoos. I have always had a warm heart and love to share whenever I can. I am also great in the kitchen, and am available to do light housework. I am responsible and can take on multiple tasks at once, if needed. I am a giver through and through, and look forward to working with you and your little ones.

Monica is amazing! She is a kindhearted person with a wonderful personality. She’s prompt, professional, flexible and reliable. A great communicator who isn’t afraid to ask what your precise needs are. She is currently working for us as a caregiver/sitter and housekeeper. My son enjoys her immensely! I would highly recommend her services to anyone!

Monica was professional and extremely wonderful with our children: 2 years old and 6 months old. She watched them 2 days per week for a few months before our full-time nanny started, and she took joy in reading books to them, taking them to the park, and splashing around in the pool. Although our daughter is very active and typically toddler emotional, Monica was very patient with her and helped her to behave. She also helped keep the house clean, and that is always appreciated! We still keep in touch and will continue to see her, whether it's on a personal level or for our random childcare needs. I would certainly recommend her to anyone!
