Providing care with love and compassion

At home-based behavioral therapy that gently guides growth through play.

Home-based support—for families looking for guidance during the early years —with neurodivergent learners in mind. I design activities that spark curiosity, encourage independence, and make every day enjoyable.

I help strengthen the parent-child connection and support early childhood development—working together to raise confident children and nurture strong, loving family bonds.

  • Each session is designed to nurture development through joyful, play-based learning.

  • I work thoughtfully with neurodivergent learners—including those with autism, ADHD, and sensory sensitivities. Every visit is paced with care and respect for how your child learns best.

  • I partner with parents to strengthen connection and create practical strategies that support daily routines.

How It Works

I offer play-based, in-home or virtual support for young children—especially neurodivergent kids and those with sensory needs.

1. Let’s Connect
We start with a quick call to learn about your child, your goals, and see if we’re a good fit.

2. Personalized Plan
I create a flexible, gentle plan based on your child’s interests, needs, and routines—supporting communication, independence, and connection.

3. Playful Sessions
I come to your home (or meet virtually) for calm, child-led sessions built around trust, joy, and everyday growth.

4. Ongoing Support
We check in often and adapt as your child grows. I also share simple tools you can use daily.

I also offer:
– Support for sensory sensitivities & routines
– Inclusive sibling/family coaching
– Playdates & adventure days
– Drop-in & date-night care

Everything is neurodiversity-affirming, flexible, and centered around your child’s joy.

Connection, play, and gentle support are the pillars for a confident, thriving child.

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."

    "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."
