A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Monica — a bilingual caregiver and former preschool and elementary school teacher with over 10 years of experience working with young children. I have a degree in Human Development with a concentration in Child Development through CSU East Bay University and I’m certified in CPR and First Aid. I also have a clear background and driving record.

My passion lies in supporting the early years of development, especially for children ages 0–6. I’ve spent years in the classroom nurturing young minds, — always creating a safe, engaging, and enriching environment for each child.

I'm fluent in both Spanish and English, and I love incorporating language development and learning through play into everyday routines. I’m also in the process of opening my own licensed home daycare, a dream that reflects my commitment to early childhood education and high-quality care.

If you're looking for someone dependable, nurturing, and experienced, I’d love the opportunity to support your family!

A little bit about me

Hello parents & guardians,

I’ve worked with children for many years, starting as the go-to babysitter for younger relatives. That passion led me to coach youth soccer in high school, teaching both skills and values like teamwork and honesty.

As a camp counselor, I led nature hikes, taught basic botany, arts and crafts, and wilderness safety—encouraging curiosity and confidence outdoors. From [phone number hidden], I coached youth rock climbing, creating a safe, supportive space for kids to grow physically and mentally.

Most recently, I’ve worked full-time with an infant starting at 6 months old, building a daily rhythm of naps, meals, play, and sensory activities to support development. I also handle diapering, bottle feeding, meal prep, and introducing solids with care and attention.

I’m dedicated to creating nurturing spaces where children feel secure, respected, and free to thrive. I’d love the chance to support your family.

Warmly,
Ella H
