I have always loved working with children. My undergraduate degree is in psychology, and my masters is in applied behavioral analysis. Integrating the skills I have learned is very important. I grew up with a big family, and was always with a baby or child, and absolutely loved it. I find it important to work with the parents on what they are looking for as well. I like to come up with plans that everyone is comfortable with. I have been a live in nanny for a few summers in my younger years. And I have had many years of experiences working with different families and children. I am used to helping with laundry, meal prep, dishes, dog care, carpooling, and most other housekeeping. Even cloth diapers if that is a what your family does. Most importantly I am there to nurture and support their growth.

It is my pleasure to wholeheartedly recommend Brooke Walgreen for a job as a Nanny. In the 5 years that I have known Brooke, I have seen how incredibly kind, compassionate, reliable and a complete joy to be around she is. Brooke exudes a true warmth that draws people to her. Brooke has helped with my children on many occasions whether it be to watch mine and many other families at the pool, help with tutoring, feed them when I work late or must go out of town. Brooke has been a life saver to me as I am a single mom. Brooke is wonderful with children and with pets. She has a true gift. When I first met Brooke, I was not surprised to learn that growing up she helped raise her cousins and the18 grandkids in her family. You can tell by the way she remains calm and interacts with children that she has a true calling for caretaking. In Brooke’s spare time you can find her playing games in the pool with the neighborhood kids, chasing her dog around the farm and golf course, feeding the birds, fishing, swimming, and cooking her treasured family recipes to share them with the community. One thing about Brooke is that she’s always serving the community. Whether it be food, companionship for elders, yard games with kids or a shoulder to lean on, Brooke is a strong woman with a heart of gold. I trust her with my kiddos and any family would be lucky to have her.
