Can anyone recommend a good English-speaking driver who can pick up a party of four adults from a Paris hotel in the morning and drive them to Giverny, wait while the group visits, then drive them back to the hotel? It would be even better if that driver could tell the group about the experience along the way, get them skip-the-line access, etc.

I've looked at group tours with buses, minivans, etc. and they seem to do afternoon tours, and I've looked a Paris Walks but it takes a maximum of three. I'm also aware we can take the train, catch the shuttle, rent bikes, etc.

Ideally would like a fluent English-speaking tour guide who would pick us up from the hotel and deliver us to Giverny right before opening, having pre-bought our admission tickets and ushered us in via skip-the-line access and after teaching us about Monet and the gardens and house during the trip there, and able to answer questions from us on the way back.

They do have private tours on places like Viator.com, not just group tours.

here is one like you want

I just would not expect a driver/chauffeur to be an art expert, I believe the guide to Monet's site is by a separate guide from the driver.

Just so you understand Viator doesn't actually do any tours. They are a reseller of other companies' tours. Sort of like AuroEurope for rental cars.

I've done the Viator route twice (and took the train/bus/lines/crowds once.

With four you practically will be the group. I think we had 8 total. Obviously it cost more but it was such an easier way to go (and yes, you skip the lines).

Just so you understand, I know that perfectly well. I never said Viator did the tour, now did I? I said it was a website where you can find tours, which it is, and is convenient exactly BECAUSE it isn't just one company.

Have you bothered to google "Private Tours to Giverny" ? There are pages of propositions if you do that. I know that it is always better to try to get a specific recommendation, but you should at least check the prices that these places are asking before you decide on anything.

I used this company for drivers for clients before I retired. www.deluxedrivers.com

I haven't worked in five years, but they still send me deals and emails. They were very good and very reliable.
