Meet Brenna

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

Hi, I'm Brenna! I'm a 29 year-old PhD graduate living in NYC, and I have fifteen years of experience babysitting. I attribute my love of children to the fact that I am the oldest of four kids! Since I was eleven years old I have been caring for young children. As a teen I completed a babysitting course, which gave me first aid and CPR training certification. I continue to keep up-to-date on safe sleep research and child safety protocols. I have extensive experience with infants and younger toddlers. I was a nanny for a six-week old baby and was with the family until she was two years old. This job gave me invaluable experience in the care of newborns. I have no problem changing diapers, preparing bottles, feeding, bathing, clothing, or playing with our youngest friends! I've taught toddler dance classes; worked with ages 3-15 as an Afterschool Assistant Read more at private school; and tutored students of all ages, from kindergarten math to SAT Prep. I'm a good cook and can prep healthy snacks! I have experience with children with diverse needs, including autism and communication disorders, ADD and ADHD, and gender non-conforming kids.
