Hi- My name is Brenda, most people call me Bree. I have taught in class rooms and worked with children both in private homes and group situations for about 25 years, from newborns to high school and everything in between. I have been working as a private home nanny for the last two years for two different families. One family (3 days a week)had 3 very active manly boys ages 3-8. The second family (one day a week) had two sweet children, ages 2 and 4. All whom I love and miss very much. I have also done several date nights for their friends. We recently moved to Nevada and I'm now looking for new families to share and take care of. I love cooking, crafts, scrapbooking (I take tons of pictures all the time), reading, board games, playing outside, helping with homework, and introducing new and fun projects to Read more share with children. I am married and going through empty nest time. I have two grown children of my own. My son just graduated from college and my daughter is still working her way through. Both are forging their own paths into adulthood. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have worked in our church's nursery and children's church programs for over 25 years. I have lots of references. If this sounds like a possible match for you and your family feel free to message me or call and we can set up a meeting. 209-321-8625 Thanks -Brenda

Ms. Bree is a true gem. She has been a part-time nanny at our home for my two-year-old son since Nov 2020. Bree is calm, patient, and prioritizes my child and his needs and feelings first and foremost. She brings crafts, puzzles, and toys with her each morning, and does more activities in a day with my son than I can count. From coloring, painting, and crafting to learning activities (ABCs, vocabulary through play, etc.), she is always actively focused on him. They also reads books, sing songs, and play outside together. Bree makes my son snacks and lunch, and always cleans up afterward. I couldn’t ask for a better caretaker and wish I could hire her full-time, but she works for other families long-term. She is also flexible if I don’t need childcare coverage for a few weeks, which is really nice. Bree also likes to update me on what activities they’re doing throughout the morning, and I love seeing pictures of my son so happy with her. She can easily calm him down when he gets upset, too. I can’t stress how patient and kind Ms. Bree is – she really understands children and is FUN. My son looks forward to her coming over every time. My recommendation for Ms. Bree could not be higher, she is absolutely wonderful.
