About Brenda

Experience: 10 yrs

Only open for date nights, or side babysitting. . I've been a nanny many years. I always make sure that the child/children feel comfortable. I am good at coming up with ideas and activities. I love to teach children new things, do crafts, and explore outdoor activities. Most of all, create amazing bonds. I want to be able to provide parents with comfort and security of having someone trustworthy watching their little ones.
