Thanks for reviewing my profile! There's nothing I would rather do than be with infants, toddlers & children. I provide whatever each child needs - comfort and cuddling, down-on-the-floor game playing, or, athletic, artistic and intellectual activities. With experience as both a pre-school teacher and mother of three remarkable daughters, I respect & adore children of all ages, using patience, kindness, redirection and humor to bring out the best in them (and in myself!). I have a proven ability to swiftly form trusting bonds with children & I consider caring for their well-being to be one of humankind's most important responsibilities. I am a founding board member of the Golisano Children's Museum in Naples, FL, where I just relocated from after 35 years! I hold a BA degree in Literature & my interests include history, jazz, nutrition, biking, art, & photography. Seeking short term, occasional, newborn support, one-time, special event, Read more sick care & emergency. $25/hr.

Brenda is/was what I would call smart. She has great nurturing and also go on the fly ability. She is totally open and willing to follow instructions too. She’s never been late once or flaked. Brenda always stays busy during naps- mostly cleaning stuff you always want to, but you’d rather capitalize on getting some sleep yourself instead!?

Brenda is the BEST! She is so great with my daughter, an absolute delight to chit chat with and is so easy to work with. So happy to have found her, my only complaint is I didn’t find her sooner!

I cannot say enough about how amazing Brenda was when she came to help with my kids (ages almost 3 and almost 5). I had to work from home and she entertained them and played with them ALL day. She brought a few bags of toys and they were just obsessed with Brenda! She also came for a date night and was extremely reliable. I will definitely be messaging Brenda next time I'm in Naples.

Brenda was an absolute blessing for our family during our trip to Naples. My daughter liked her so much she kept asking us to bring Brenda back every night. She brought her “magic bag” of age appropriate toys and books to both entertain and educate our kids. She also helped us with our older son with autism during our nights out. I can’t wait to return to Naples and trust the care of my kids to her.

Brenda is AMAZING!! We were so happy when we met her and instantly felt comfortable and at ease during our time in Naples knowing she was caring for our infant son!! I simply cannot say enough kind words about Brenda as she was absolutely wonderful! Our son was immediately taken with her and went to her with open arms ( in fact, he wouldn't let go of her the last day she was there!) Brenda is kind, warm, caring, experienced and I only wish we would have met her sooner!
