About Monique

Hi! I'm a Registered Nurse (BSN, RN) with a genuine passion for caring for others & creating safe, nurturing environments where children can learn & grow. My interest in childcare began in high school, where I took Early Childhood Education courses and gained hands-on experience working with pre-K children. I created lesson plans, assisted with teaching, supervised young learners, and organized fun, educational activities. I'm an avid reader & love encouraging children's curiosity, creativity, & imagination. I also value screen-free activities like reading together, arts & crafts, educational games, & outdoor play. My RN experience has taught me to provide attentive, compassionate care while staying calm & responsible. I'm BLS certified & have completed the NYS Child Abuse Identification course. I believe every child deserves to feel safe, heard, & encouraged. I look forward to providing dependable, personalized care while respecting each family's routines & parenting preferences!
