Janice was very sweet and my little ones really liked her. She was also very flexible when I came home significantly later than planned. I would definitely use her again.

Hi! I’m Latoya (Monroe)—a reliable and trustworthy happy and enthusiastic adventurous nanny with 15+ years of childcare experience, including 8+ years supporting busy professional families. I’m passionate about assisting families who may not have strong extended support, providing dependable care, structure, and a calm, consistent presence in the home. I value strong family core values and believe childcare should feel supportive, not stressful. Experience in working with great families with limited extended family support nearby. I do have a clean and clear background check. The reason I don’t have the badge is I am disputing a parking ticket. Per sitters guidelines, this prevents me from obtaining updated sitters badge. Please contact me with any questions. I come with stellar professional references. I am comfortable working in families home that have pet family members. I do love cats and dogs. Xoxo (friendly and safe) .

We live out of town, but Nicole sat for us a few times while we were in town, and she was wonderful with our son. She is a real natural with children, and our son loved her. Will definitely be calling her if we find ourselves in the area again!

Ms. Sheri is a Godsend. I hired her for a sitting job for a family BBQ. Not only did she and her daughter sit for the two children in attendance but also were a tremendous help with prepping for the party and assisted in the kitchen and grill during the party. I will hire her again without hesitation.

As a teenager and babysitter I knew I wanted to work with children but as a pediatric doctor, But once I took Child development classes and parenting it really opened my eyes to another interest and that was being a early childhood education teacher. taking these classes I learned a lot about a parent perspective and childcare teachers as well in certain situations also along with being a teacher studying the different methods and also hands on experience on writing lesson plans and actually interacting with the children. By my senior year I did an internship at a child care facility to experience how a center is ran and the interaction with the children and teachers. After I graduated I worked for Kindercare Learning Center over a year, Children Of America almost 3 years, and a privately owned daycare for over a year before I recently decided to help local families who need care for their children.
