A little bit about me

Hi! Caring for children has been both my passion and my profession for many years. I have spent several years as a Head Infant Teacher in a daycare setting, where I created a safe, nurturing, and developmentally enriching environment for babies all while maintaining clear, consistent communication with families.

In addition to my classroom experience, I have worked as a private nanny for families with one or multiple children. This strengthened my ability to balance the unique needs of different ages, manage busy household routines, and provide individualized attention while keeping the day structured and positive.

I’m very dependable, patient, organized, and calm under pressure. I believe in fostering independence, kindness, and creativity while providing the stability children need to thrive. Building trusting relationships with both children and parents is at the heart of everything I do.

"It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Monika who cared for both of my daughters—my infant and my five-year-old. Monika has always been warm, patient and professional. As a nanny, caring for an infant and an energetic five-year-old at the same time requires a rare combination of attentiveness, organization, and heart, and she handled it all with remarkable ease. She was nurturing with my baby, always attentive to her needs and mindful of developmental milestones. I always felt peace of mind knowing my baby was in such capable hands. With my five-year-old, she was equally wonderful—engaging her in creative activities and age-appropriate learning. My daughter absolutely adores her. Beyond her natural ability with children, she is dependable, communicative, and proactive. She kept us informed and was always willing to go above and beyond to help our household run smoothly. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her. I wholeheartedly recommend her without hesitation."
