Hi, my name is Brenda. I have several years experience as a nanny. I know CPR and first aid and have other medical training as well. I have experience with preemies, infants, toddlers, and school aged children. I have also worked with quadruplets, and special needs. I have several current non- family references. I love kids of all ages, and feel I'm a good reliable sitter. I'm caring, patient, and love to teach children new things. I do care in my home, but will do date nights in yours if needed. I know how important your children are, and feel they would be cared for very well. Thanks

Brenda watched our 2 Pomeranian's this last weekend. We couldn't be happier with the care she provided to our dogs. Our Pomeranian’s are puppy mill rescue dogs that have trust issues. Because of this I had never used any service like this before. I was very nerves about leaving the dogs. However, my husband and I could tell during the meet and greet that Brenda would take very good care of our dogs. Brenda gave us updates over the weekend via text messages, which really helped ease my mind! When we picked them up we could see that they LOVED her and her family! We would recommend her to anyone that was thinking about this service for the first time. Thank you Brenda for taking the time to make our dogs feel like a part of your family! We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter!! Mike and Kim B

Brenda has been a real God-send to me! She's very responsible and goes above and beyond the call of duty to help me look after my pug while I'm at work. I trust her completely and couldn't be more satisfied. I'm so glad I found Brenda!

Brenda did an amazing job watching our 2 dogs and cat over the summer. She did an excellent job communicating with me so that I was worry-free and able to enjoy my vacation. She went out of her way to help our pets feel comfortable home alone for the first time! She was even available so that we could extend our vacation a few extra days! I am so thankful to have found such a caring, reliable and wonderful sitter! I will definitely be asking her again to care for our pets next vacation and as a nanny if the need should arise! Thanks again Brenda for everything! :-)

Brenda watches my 2 year old son once a week for me at her house. She's very professional and great with kids. My son can't wait to go back.

I highly recommend Brenda. During the interview process, she was on time, and asked questions that demonstrated her experience and obvious love of animals. During our trip, Brenda kept in touch with us to let us know how our dog was doing and to reassure us that everything was ok with our house. When we got back home, our dog was calm and happy to see us, evidence that she had gotten wonderful care. When Brenda came to drop off the key, our dog got really excited and happy to see her. I will DEFINITELY use Brenda's services again. Ali H.

Brenda did an excellent job providing both doggy day care for my two yorkies while I was at work and watching my nine year old yorkie who requires daily medications while I was out of town for a week. Both of my dogs were very excited when we would arrive at her house, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needed these services!!

Brenda did a great job with my 2 cats! She came by to meet them before taking the job, and they don't come out for just anybody. I live within 4 miles of the original Waldo Canyon evacuation zone, and she was ready to come get my cats if it moved closer to my neighborhood. She even made an extra trip to ensure the house wasn't too smokey for them to stay.- Pam

Brenda looked after our dog Riley (7 months), our cat, and our son's hamster for the weekend. Everyone was very well taken care of, she even brought some leafy greens for the hamster and our dog had a new toy when we got home (a pretty good indication he got some playtime). She also made sure to text us while we were gone with updates as to how things were going with our pets. Brenda was great and we plan on using her services again.

Brenda was awesome! My lab loved her and her family! She came over and met Haley before we went out of town. She was great about updating us on Haley during our vacation. She was very reasonable about fees and I will definitely use her services again next time we need a break! Thank you Brenda and Family!

Brenda watched our boxer for 5 days this last week. This was the first time we had left our boxer at an in-home care in Colorado Springs and we were extremely happy. Our boxer was well taken care of! Her family gave him so much attention and treated him like one of their own. It's great to find someone that cares so much for a very important member of our family. We would highly recommend Brenda and will definitely have her watch him again!
