About Brendalee

Taking care of children involves more than skills. Though I am certified in CPR/ First Aid, though I am degreed and have more than 12 years of work experience, my best quality is my ability to be present with children, right where they are, and to consider their whole being ( mind, body, spirit). Caring and nurturing children is a great responsibility and privilege. I've been a nanny, a paraprofessional in the public schools, and as an early childhood educator in private settings. I'm a 'yes' to books, writing, swimming, art, no stress baking/ cooking, theatre, singing, dancing, nature walks and helping with homework. I enjoy teaching children but learning from them, being present to the simplicity of their being in the world, teaches me. I'm a calm and nurturing person, gentle with myself and others. I practice gratitude and self-care so seeking to care for families who can offer me a peaceful & safe environment while caring for their children.
