A little bit about me

Hi everyone I’m Monet! I’ve been caring for children ever since I was a child myself. I’ve taken care of my own sibilinos, neighbors children, and friends children. I have a love for our younger generation and molding them into great people. I change diapers, do bottle prep, meal prep, cleaning, feeding, grocery shopping, learning prep, and many more! I’d love to take care of your child; let me know any questions or concerns you may have !

A little bit about me

I have over 9 years of experience with childcare and education. 6 of those years I have been a private nanny. I have done tutoring, provided care for special needs, created age appropriate crafts and lessons, found and brought to outside activities, assisted in potty training, taught reading/ writing/ math/ science/ emotional development basics, provided full infant and toddler care, and pretty much everything needed to support a growing kiddo.

I have nannied for kids ranging from 3 months to 5 years, and worked with ages up to 18 years. I have a special fondness working with young children and helping them grow long term. That is why I have dedicated myself to being a caring addition to families. I look forward to potentially learning and growing with you!

Please reach out with any questions. I would be happy to provide references and discuss anything!!

Babysitting

About me

My name is Miriam C Alanis Moreno and I'm 26 years old. My experience with children started at the age of 15 years old I have eight years of experience in babysitting and four years nanny . I would babysitting for family members and neighbors that need an extra help after school. I never took babysitting as a full time job due to the fact I was in college. I am currently taking a break from college that's the reason why this past year and half I have been a full time nanny with my current two families. I have worked with children up to five months and older. The qualities of being patient, optimistic and attentive are the reasons why I began babysitting. I've always loved my job because children pour happiness and childlike fun into my day. The positive impact I receive from every child is all I need to brighten up my day. I love being a great source of positivity and care in return. I believe that children are one of the greatest sources of joy.
