About Monica

Hello!! I look forward to meeting you and helping with your famil. I have my PhD in Education (I have focused my studies on early childhood development, montessori & waldorf methods & active, experiential learning) and am looking to bring in some temporary extra income while I go back on the job market, as my organization just had to do role reductions and my position shifted to PT. I have been babysitting since I was 13 (I'm 40 now) & was a mothers helper & caretaker since waaay before then, since I am the 2nd oldest of 5 kids & have 3 younger brothers I've been doing childcare for as long as I can remember. I was a lifeguard through hs & college & love swimming & being at the beach. I also believe it's really important to be active & constructive in getting our energy out. I love playing & taking hikes outside, exploring nature & teaching about it in savvy ways, making art & crafting, going on cultural excursions (to museums, science centers, fairs & special events, etc.) & cooking &
