"Monica was a wonderful nanny for our daughter when she was 5 months old to when she was 1.5 years old. We were so sad to leave Monica when we moved away. Monica was loving, caring, responsible, self-motivated, punctual, and very professional. She kept our daughter safe, provided a fun and clean environment for her, and communicated well with us on a daily basis. We felt like Monica was part of our family and still keep in touch with her today!"

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I have professional experience working as an Infant Audiology Technician at Northwest Hospital and Swedish Edmonds in Washington. Additionally, I am a certified Dental Assistant with hands-on experience working with children. My background has provided me with valuable skills in patient care, communication, and creating a comfortable, welcoming environment for infants, children, and their families.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love planning exciting outings, organizing playdates, and creating meaningful, enjoyable experiences for others. Art and creativity are two of my biggest passions, and I enjoy incorporating artistic activities, imaginative play, and dressing up into fun experiences that bring out the joy and nostalgia of childhood. I also have a passion for sports and staying active, along with supervising swimming and encouraging safe, engaging water activities.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is knowing that the care, love, and dedication I provide make a meaningful difference in a child's life. I strive to create a safe, nurturing environment where each child feels loved, valued, and supported while having the opportunity to learn, grow, and develop their own unique personality. I believe in building strong, trusting relationships with both the children and their families. Being welcomed into a family's home and trusted with such an important role is a privilege I never take for granted. I truly cherish the time I invest in each child and hope that the patience, guidance, and genuine care I provide leave a lasting, positive impact on their lives.

My experience with special needs children...

I have had the opportunity to work closely with a family whose son was diagnosed with autism and sensory processing disorder. Through this experience, I gained valuable insight into the importance of patience, understanding, consistency, and providing individualized care that meets each child's unique needs. I understand how important it is to create a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment where a child feels comfortable, valued, and understood.

I would be more than happy to share more about my experience, the care I provided, and the ways I supported the family and their son in a private conversation. I believe every child deserves compassionate, attentive care, and I would love the opportunity to discuss how my experience could be a good fit for your family's needs.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Oh, so many! I honestly couldn’t choose just one favorite moment because every family I’ve had the privilege of working with has been so special in their own way. It’s not necessarily one big moment that stands out, but all of the little everyday moments that make the experience so meaningful. From the laughs, milestones, adventures, and memories made along the way, each family has left such a special place in my heart. One of the greatest joys is getting to continue being a part of their lives even after my time as their nanny has ended. Whether it’s through social media, texts, phone calls, catching up, or even receiving that yearly holiday card, I love seeing the children grow and hearing about all the exciting things happening in their lives. Being a nanny is so much more than just a job; it’s building relationships, becoming part of a family, and creating connections that last long after the job itself.
