A little bit about me

A long time nanny, I have an educational background in bachelor's in Human Development and Family Studies and love getting to work with kids. I have a degree in American Sign Language and love growing a child's linguistic comprehension and expression through engagement, reading, and exposure to different languages. I can encourage physical and cognitive development with outdoor and indoor games and age appropriate yoga, of which I'm a certified instructor. I have experience as a lifeguard as well as working with children with special needs through my years of various childcare positions. I am currently pregnant, and looking for part time temporary work as I wait for my own little one to enter the world.

"Brooke was a wonderful nanny for our little guy. She was patient, kind and loving to him. She came up with activities for them to do during the days that were fun and educational. She helped him with his language which was delayed for his age. I felt at ease being at work knowing he was well cared for."

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

Babysitting, nannying, lifeguard, directing children's theater.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love playgrounds, arts and crafts, animals, the outdoors, music, educational play, and lots and lots of books.

The most important part about being a nanny...

An understanding of the child's state of mind and what needs must be met by the careraker, with careful care to establish an environment that is physically and emotionally safe.

My experience with special needs children...

I have cared for or assisted caring for children with autism ranging from low support needs to high support needs, as well as Deaf/deaf children

The most important part about being a nanny...

It's very hard to pick one! I once asked a child to take his hands off his friend, and he frowned before telling me "But hands are too hard to take off." It still makes me laugh.
