A little bit about me
Hi there! My name is Brooke, and I moved to Santa Barbara a bit over a year ago after graduating from CU Boulder. I studied Biochemistry and Spanish, and I wanted to go to dental school, but after working in dentistry for a year, I realized this is not my passion. Now, I'm re-asking myself the question: what am I passionate about? Though many answers have surfaced, one of them stands out: working with kiddos.
I've worked as a camp counselor, a childcare facilitator, and I've babysat for numerous families. Currently, I am a head coach for toddler/youth climbing programs as well. I have experience with children 6 months to 15+ years, and working with every age range continues to instill in me the joy and curiosity through which these kids see the world. I love to take a laid-back approach and let the kids I work with lead the way while encouraging and supporting their decisions. I'm excited to continue this next chapter and connect with you and your kiddos!

A little bit about me
I'm a Midwestern, hardworking, energetic, responsible adult, who loves working with children. I enjoy roller blading, kayaking, swimming, biking, camping, really anything outdoors and with friends. I can plan, cook, and serve meals. I'm learning to play the ukulele in my free time. I have four siblings, all brothers, and supportive parents. I'm taking a gap year to nanny before getting involved with YWAM, Youth With A Mission. My faith is important to me, but I don't expect others to share my beliefs, nor do I push my beliefs on others.

Recent reference
"We have four boys, ages 2-8, and have been particular about who we use for childcare. We began using Evie as a babysitter in the spring of 2015, and she has become a beloved part of our family over the years.
Handling multiple, energetic boys, and a baby at the same time, is a challenging job, but Evie has managed it beautifully. She has a sweet, calm demeanor but is also firm and keeps the boys and our home in order. We come home to a clean kitchen, washed dishes, and picked-up toys. And, most importantly, we find safe boys with fun stories about games played and books read. Our boys both love and respect Evie.
We have also been able to observe Evie’s character and have been consistently impressed with her maturity. She is actively involved in our church and radiates a love for Jesus. She is respectful, honest, modest, and dependable. We trust her completely and have recommended her to others who also now have Evie at the top of their babysitter lists!
