Hi, I'm Brenda a dependable and creative caregiver based in New York City. I'm currently pursuing a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Lehman College. I also hold a BA in Communications with a minor in Psychology from Baruch College. I have hands-on experience working with children of all abilities, including in my current role as a special needs nanny and direct support provider. I focus on creating routines that help children feel safe, supported, and confident while also allowing room for fun . Outside of caregiving, I enjoy crafts, painting, and sewing, and I often bring those interests into my work with kids through creative play. I also love visiting museums and exploring science, history and culture, which has been a great way to introduce children to new ideas and experiences. My goal is always to meet children where they are, provide a calm and engaging environment that supports their growth in a mindful way.
We were so fortunate to have Brenda care for our children over the past year. From day one, she brought warmth, patience, and genuine care into our home. She is incredibly dependable, always on time, and went above and beyond to make sure our kids felt safe, happy, and engaged. Our children absolutely adore her. She not only looked after their needs but also spent time playing, teaching, and encouraging them to learn and explore. She handled everything with kindness, professionalism, and a calm demeanor, even in unexpected situations.
