Hi there! My name is Brooke, and I am a fourth-year medical student. As I finish up my last semester of school, I have found myself with an unusual amount of free time, which I am hoping to spend doing something I love - taking care of kids! Not only do I have experience with nannying children of all ages, but I have also worked with kids through volunteering with Girls on the Run, tutoring middle- and high-schoolers, and directing an educational program for underserved children in our community. Uniquely, I also developed and led summer Science Camps aimed to inspire and instill confidence in the STEM subjects. These experiences have built my understanding of the importance of hands-on learning, interactive play, and encouraging curiosity. To fuel these lessons, I often bring along age appropriate science "experiments" and activities to provide similar fun adventures for the kiddos I am nannying/sitting. Read more Outside of my experience with children, I am also an extremely hardworking, dependable, and flexible person. Furthermore, medical school has greatly instilled in me virtues of compassion, accountability, service, and integrity. I would love to nanny for an active, fun loving family who shares my passion for learning and adventure! Taking care of a child is the most fulfilling (and important) job in the world, and I would love the opportunity to provide a helpful hand to your family in any way I can.

Brooke was amazing!! She looked after my son (4months) on my wedding day - not an easy task! She took charge from the beginning with helping set up his pack n play in the bridal suite and managed 2 other sitters throughout the day so that I was able to enjoy myself. Despite having only spoken over the phone, I felt so comfortable leaving Brooke with my son - she is warm and caring, but also confident with babies and young kids which made me feel at ease. I would highly recommend Brooke!

Brooke is fantastic and we cannot recommend her enough. She watched our 8 month old and 4 year old for 4 days when our nanny was away and did a great job. We were working from home during this time and noticed she went above and beyond -- she looked for opportunities to do fun and educational activities, quickly won over our 4 year old, and made watching 2 kids look easy. She had no problem following our kids schedule, getting the kids down for a nap, and keeping them fed and happy. Brooke quickly earned our trust. We really appreciated having her help and look forward to having her babysit in the future. Thanks again Brooke!
