About Monica

Experience: 5 yrs

In my time as a nanny, I have gained so many wonderful experiences. I have nannied for many families with children of all ages. I have a wide range of abilities including newborn care, adoptive care, Montessori teaching for primary, organic cooking, cooking for food sensitivities and allergies, and more! I believe in consistent expectations and quick follow up; however I never spank, hit, degrade, or yell. I discipline in a way that will improve a child as a person, to help them learn right from wrong--not degrade or embarrass just so they don't repeat the action. Relationships play such a wonderful role in children's lives and kids having interactions with not only adults, but other children is something I like to make a priority. I love nature and active learning so we will spend most of our time outdoors. Unfortunately it's hard to fit such a complicated, lovely and incredibly rewarding job in a short bio, so I would love to answer any and all questions!

As parents, we have seen and observed a wide array of caretakers. Be it at the park, in the store and also in our home. Monica has been our nanny for the last three years and to put it simply, Monica is an excellent nanny. A career move has us moving out of town, if this were not the case, we would have loved to have Monica play an active role in our family for many years to come. As opposed to some other nannies who see nannying as a side job, this is Monica's desired career, and it shows. She is everything you would hope for in a nanny. She is kind, caring, creative, clean, timely, eager to lend a helping hand and is someone who plays an active role in the development of your child. Our children look forward to spending time with Monica. As a minimal TV family, it is important that our children are geared towards outside activities and learn via play. She encourages their development and finds new and creative ways to help them grow and learn. She is wonderful.
