A little bit about me

I am a responsible and caring person with a genuine love for children. I have experience babysitting kids aged 1-13, where I've engaged them in fun activities like games, crafts, and outdoor play. While I'm not yet CPR/First Aid certified, I have experience and am eager to learn more and prioritize creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment for your children. I'm also happy to help with homework and prepare simple meals. A little about me is that I am 17 years old and go to Forest Lake High School. I am a captain for our girls basketball team and am apart of SADD and Link Leader at our high school. I also play AAU basketball during the summer. AAU goes until the end of July which means I am only free some weekends, Monday and wednesday all day, and Tuesday and Thursday from 11am-4pm.

Hi! I’m Brooke, and I’ve been working with children for 6–7 years in roles ranging from babysitting to serving as a church leader and counselor for young children, including those with autism. I’ve cared for kids from as young as 4 months up to 9 years old.
