Monique $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Downey, CA

Hello, my name is Monique I have 18 years of experience working with children, including jobs at babysitting, being a nanny and work with autism children. I've been babysitting regularly for the last 18 years. My experience, combined with my CPR and first aid certification. And also have a 22 & 21 year old young adults and 13 month old baby. So I have personal experience with my own children. My most recent Babysitter position was with a family of five whose children ranged from ages 2 to 12. I'm sure you can imagine the constant commotion involved in caring for five children, but it's the kind of challenge I find fun and exciting. Three days a week, I helped the older kids get ready for school and then stayed with the younger children until their parents got home from work. During the day, the younger children and I would play games, do arts and crafts, enjoy educational activities and have a home-cooked lunch. I was also available to care for the older children when they stayed home sick from school or to babysit nights and weekends when the parents wanted a date night. My clients have often expressed appreciation for my adaptability, enthusiasm and ability to handle any type of situation. Since my most recent clients moved out of state for a job promotion, I currently have a very flexible schedule, including nights and weekends. I can usually start as early as 7 a.m. and can stay until at least 11 p.m. I can even stay even longer. I appreciate you taking the time to read my letter and consider my application. Please feel free to contact me by phone or email if you have questions about my qualifications. I would love the opportunity to work with your family and get to know your children.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
