** DUE TO A WRIST PROBLEM, I AM ONLY WORKING WITH CHILDREN AGES 4 AND UP** Hello! My name is Monique, and I was a stay-at-home mom of two (now grown) children. After my kids grew up, and I thought about going to work, I couldn't think of anything I'd enjoy more (or am better at) than caring for children! I have lots of experience entertaining children with vastly different temperaments and energy levels. I love children of all ages- including the ones that are old enough to think they're smarter than you! I genuinely find all kids interesting and enjoy talking with them and exploring their interests. I love being silly and kids like me - seriously, they really do! I'll be down on the floor, in the grass, whatever it takes, to interact with and to engage your child. (Obviously, older children may not need/want that kind of attention.) I am nurturing, loving, patient, fun, silly, physically fit, experienced, and professional. - Adult & pediatric CPR and First Aid certified (American Red Cross) -Background checked through the California Trustline Registry and through the company Urban Sitter uses. If your child needs help with school work, I might be able to help. I do love teaching. I home schooled one child for nine years, 4th-12th grade). I'm college educated, have a Masters degree from NYU, and have professional tutoring experience. My SUV seats seven, I can assemble nutritious meals, and I love dogs. I'm fine with other animals, too. I am absolutely responsible, completely reliable and punctual! Thank you for your interest in me :) **BOOKINGS ON FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS: 24-hour cancellation policy, $60 charge, which is not intended as a penalty, but a small amount of the loss I incur from missing out on filling a premium spot.
I’m a very empathetic, patient, and playful person who truly enjoys spending time with children. I love teaching, creating activities, and helping them learn and grow. I have 7 years of babysitting experience with kids from 1 month old to 16 years old, and I’ve also taught ballet and Spanish. I hold a Degree in Social Communication and another in Acting, and I’m certified in First Aid and CPR by the Red Cross. I lead a healthy, active lifestyle and value nature, creativity, gratitude, and keeping a positive environment for kids. I love babysitting because children are naturally imaginative, curious, and full of joy, I love being part of that.

“Ebony is absolutely wonderful! She is everything you could hope for in a nanny and more. She is caring, dependable, always punctual, incredibly flexible, and brings such wonderful energy and enthusiasm to everything she does. She is fantastic with my six-year-old daughter, helping her with homework, keeping her engaged, and always finding ways to make their time together fun and productive. Ebony has become a true partner in helping me care for my daughter, and I appreciate her more than I can say. As a parent, there is nothing more important than knowing your child is safe, happy, and in good hands, and I have complete peace of mind whenever my daughter is with Ebony.
