Providing care with love and compassion

Gentle growth through play.

My care is centered on fostering independence and building meaningful connections—while always keeping it fun!

During this time, I incorporate playful learning activities, sensory exploration, and skill-building moments that encourage curiosity and confidence. Every activity is designed to feel natural and enjoyable, so your child is growing while having fun

  • A flexible, child-centered approach that allows learning to happen naturally through play.

  • Embracing Neurodiversity and providing support that meets each child’s unique needs.

    Embracing differences, encouraging strengths, and nurturing development needs in a compassionate and inclusive environment.

  • Building a foundation for confidence, communication, and emotional security.

How it works..

We start with a trial day where I learn about your family, your routines —and create a flexible plan based on your child’s needs and interests.

You are welcome to be present, step in and out, or simply use the time for yourself—!

Whether you’re seeking developmental support, structured play, or simply want to enrich your child’s daily care, I tailor my approach to meet your child’s needs and your family’s routines.

What families are saying…

  • "Over the last two years, Ms. Hernandez has shown kindness, thoughtfulness and compassion to our son. Everyone looks forward to the days she is scheduled to come play; they are always filled with adventure, learning, and joy. With both of us working, Monica keeps the ship sailing smoothly. There are days where we don’t know what we would do without her. She has our full endorsement, and we are confident you’ll feel the same."

    As a preschool teacher, she has a natural gift for working with children—she’s patient, kind, and incredibly engaging. Our kids adore her, and we always feel at ease knowing they’re in her care. She brings creativity, warmth, and professionalism to every interaction, making each visit fun and enriching. We highly recommend Monica to any family looking for a trustworthy and wonderful caregiver! "

    "Monica has such a sweet way with the kiddos. My daughter loved the time they spent together with two other 3yr olds. Conflicts would sometimes come up between the three little friends, but Monica would skillfully redirect and/or resolve any issues. She was always on time and a pleasure to work with."
