A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Brenna and I am a classical musician (singer) based in Boston. I absolutely adore children in general -- their curious minds, their energy, and their honesty. I've baked sweet treats, built pillow forts, read books, and scavenged for cool rocks with kids I've nannied. I’m known by my friends and colleagues as light-hearted and jovial — I love to laugh, have fun, and bring a sense of playfulness to everything I do. At the same time, I have a master’s degree, and really value structure, learning, and helping children explore their creativity and curiosity. I’m dependable, organized, and calm under pressure — whether things get a little chaotic or the day calls for quick multitasking, I can keep things running smoothly. Overall, I bring a great balance of warmth, imagination, and reliability to every home I work with.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Since I'm a musician, I like to do creative projects with them: from finger painting to interactive music lessons to drawing. Incorporating classical music in the background when they're having quiet creative time is helpful. Nature is also very important for a child's holistic growth in my opinion, so taking them to the park/playground and on outdoor exploration walks is a daily activity. And sometimes, children just want to chat and show you things that they're proud of -- just sitting and playing with their toys with them is something I truly enjoy. Most importantly, I pay attention to the child's likes, dislikes, and sensitivities, and tailor my interactions to what they respond best to.
