I am a former elementary school science teacher and a marine scientist. I've been working with kids for 22 years: both as a teacher and as a babysitter for family (7 nieces and nephews), friends (I'm "auntie" to many more), and a professional babysitting company. I love working with kids because I am one at heart and love to discover the world at their level. I love running around playing games, doing crafts, reading books, and I am a great homework helper. When I get some free time, I love to go kayaking, hiking, and snorkeling.

LOVE that Xana is so worldly & openminded. She is knowledgeable of languages, customs, and is clearly a lifelong learner. This is someone I’d love for my children to grow up knowing!

Hi there! My name is Monica. I have about 7 years paid experience in babysitting and been babysitting family members on and off since high school. I am also certified in First Aid/ CPR/ AED. I love kids. I enjoy watching, playing as well as teaching them. I love to nurture their interests and development whichever way they chose. Listening to their silly story and witnessing their small milestones are definitely some of my favorite most rewarding things as a sitter! A little more about myself, I grew up drawing a lot of cartoon characters and many of the kids I sit love and enjoy their drawing/coloring session with me! Currently, I’m babysitting kids ranging from 1 year old to 11 years old once or twice a week. However, my schedule is flexible since I work from home. I also tutor, specializing in math. I will charge a different rate per discussion. For older kids, pick up & drop off, rates may vary. Minimum 4hrs of booking. If booked under 4hrs, $5/ per hour additional charge would be added. Safety and communication is my top priority! Love dogs and cats! I’m vaccinated and boosted, and I DO NOT work with sick children. My calendar is not always updated, so please do message me for availability. Please feel free to reach out to me for any questions. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you!

Incredibly friendly and great with our 2 year old. Definitely asking her to come back!
