My name is Monika, and my journey with children began over 10 years ago. I've worn various hats – from being a professional second language teacher, preschool educator, nanny, babysitter, to serving as a private tutor across Europe, New York, and Los Angeles. My experience spans across different age groups and settings, from caring for individual kiddos to leading classes with over 20 students. What keeps me going? My love for what I do. Safety isn't just a checkbox for me; it's my top priority. I'm committed to not only ensuring physical safety but also nurturing emotional well-being. I deeply care about the children under my watch. Whether it's igniting creativity through art and craft activities, weaving captivating tales during storytelling sessions, or engaging young minds with educational games, I strive to infuse every moment with a sense of calm and joy. As a nanny, I take immense pride in Read more my work ethic. Punctuality is key, and I'm not one to watch the clock. Parents won't find themselves reminding me to tend to household tasks – I'm proactive and attentive. TV and phones take a backseat when I'm on duty; I'm all about being present and engaged. Energetic, honest, compassionate, patient, and hardworking – these are the qualities I bring to the table. Above all, I'm reliable. With a robust background in education and childcare, I offer a wealth of expertise, including a Master's Degree in Education, TB test, LiveScan Fingerprinting, CPR & First Aid certifications, and more. My clean driving record and stellar references attest to my professionalism and trustworthiness. If you're seeking a dedicated caregiver who brings passion, experience, and reliability to the table, look no further. Let's chat and see how I can be a perfect fit for your family's needs.
