I am 35 and have been caring for children since I was 11. I am the oldest of four girls, and have played a big part in their upbringing. Throughout the years I have always watched the children of neighbors and family friends, now I care for the children of friends and family. I am comfortable and have experience with all ages. I am patient, responsible, trustworthy, reliable, caring, loving, energetic, and truly have a passion for children. My duties have included feeding, changing, bathing, naps/bedtime, arts and craft activities, park time, pick ups and drop offs, walks, movies, etc. My goal is to treat your children as if they were my own, and to give you a level of comfort knowing that your child is in good hands!

Monique began caring for my two children in 2014 and quickly became a part of our family. She is reliable, punctual and organized. She genuinely loves my children and they love her. Monique seamlessly transitioned into caring for three children when our youngest was born. She was flexible with learning to cloth diaper and appeared at ease with three children. Monique's organizational skills are amazing which help my children be on time to school and other activities while always having a drink, snack and change of clothes on hand. She is always early. Monique is friendly and helpful as well as patient and kind to my children. While watching two children and a newborn, Monique still found time to help with light housework!! Having Monique in our lives has been a blessing. If you have a chance to meet Monique, I recommend you take the opportunity.

Thank God for Monique! My husband and I hired Monique as a babysitter for a week while we were vacationing in Las Vegas. Monique was amazing! She was punctual, responsible, caring, and trustworthy. This was the first time that I had left my 3 month old in a stranger's care for an extended amount of hours, and Monique made me feel comfortable and at ease, knowing that my angel was in good hands. I cannot recommend Monique enough. My only regret is that we couldn't take her back with us to NY as a full time nanny!
