Today is Thanksgiving and I want to thank Brooke for taking such good care of our little princess. We being 1st time parents were struggling and Brooke helped us on a lot of things like SLEEP TRAINING,  feed/food schedule, developmental games etc. and most of all she was very responsive and patient with all of our questions. Our daughter enjoyed her company a lot...We are moving to another city and we will miss Brooke.

I worked with Brooke to help me sleep-train my 6 month baby boy at the time. This was my second child and I had no experience with this process, as I never sleep-trained my first. I was a little apprehended by the idea of sleep-training. I decided to give it a go as I was becoming exhausted between the sleep schedules of an infant and a 3 year old.
Brooke turned out to be a LIFESAVER! She coached me through the entire process; from regulating daytime naps to eliminating sporadic night wake-ups. She was within a text reach if I needed guidance on how to handle the baby's resistance to the scheduled nap. I was finally able to get my good night's sleep back. 
I highly recommend hiring Brooke as a child care provider and/or sleep trainer. She is extremely professional, nurturing, and understands each child's unique needs.

Brooke watched my son for two days while we were in town visiting family. She was great to communicate with in advance so I felt comfortable dropping my son off. She was very professional while also connecting well with my son right away. He is 17 months, so separation anxiety can be an issue. Brooke quickly calmed him down and sent me pictures throughout the day to put me at ease. She has a great set up for young kids and my son loved all of the things she had to play with. When we came to pick him up the first day, he didn't want to leave. I will definitely hire Brooke if we are in town again.

We have been lucky to have Brooke as a part of our daughter's life since I had to go back to work after my maternity leave (over a year ago)! She has helped get her on a schedule for naps, always makes sure they're doing something active and fun, and I know she's safe and taken care of in Brooke's hands. She is very easy to communicate with, from updates, to milestones, to texts that my husband and I send. In addition to our regular schedule she also has watched our daughter for date-nights!

Brooke took care of our daughter for six weeks and within that short time got her on schedule with regular nap times, taught her to feed herself and socialize with other babies. She is dependable and full of good advice. We would hire her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her!

Brooke is an excellent communicator and my boys had a great time with her.  I also appreciated how quickly she responded to my messages.  My sons (7 & 11) were immediately comfortable with her and they both enjoyed their evening out.

Brooke is a fantastic nanny.  Our daughter was born 3.5 months early and requires special care.  Brooke was more than happy to accommodate her special feeding needs, hygiene and positioning requirements (to deal with reflux).  Brooke takes the kids to the park, library, mall, swimming, my daughter loves being with her.  We are very sad to be leaving Brooke due to relocation.  We highly recommend Brooke!!!


Brooke is an excellent nanny.  We love her and most importantly my son loves her.   My son first started with Brooke at 4 months, and she helped us quickly get him on a regular napping and eating schedule.   She is always good about giving us daily updates and I always know I can text her if I have questions.  She truly loves taking care of kids and I trust my son with her completely. 

Brooke is, hands down, the best person we've ever worked with. Never had a better person take care of our Ollie. Our son LOVES her (yells "bye Boooke" when she leaves) and she's so amazingly kind and accommodating. She's communicative and SO good with kids, you'll feel like your son or daughter is in the best hands ever. Thanks, Brooke. We can't thank you enough for everything! Work with her before she's totally booked up!

Brooke is an amazing care giver. She's very professional and reliable and you can see how much kids love her and respect her. She started taking care of our 7 month old daughter back in August 2015 and we could see progress within a couple of weeks. The fact that Brooke also takes care of other kids has helped our daughter improving her social skills as well. Brooke is always kind and takes care of any special needs we might have for our daughter. We trust her with our daughter any time.

My son has been with Brooke for over 2 years and he loves her. Brooke is very dependable, very punctual, and she has a wonderful personality. I appreciate her willingness to work with my son on letters, numbers, manners, and all of the things we are trying to do at home. She's great!

My son is almost 2 and Brooke has been his nanny since he was 3 months old. She has a great rapport with him and is very instrumental in helping us enforce good behavior. Brooke gives us daily updates so we know how he is doing and changing and maturing. Brooke is very professional, smart, reliable, and adaptable.

Brooke is working for me as a part time nanny and she is an excellent care taker. She takes excellent care of the kids, understands them and is at the same time able to discipline them. They respect and love her like a family member. She picks them up from school, cares for them in my absence and will even keep them overnight for the occasional sleepover so I can have "Mummy time".

Brooke has been working with our family for 2 years now.  She began in July 2011 when my daughter was just about to turn 1.  Once with Brooke, our daughter's verbal skills began to soar.  As Brooke also cared for another little girl my daughter's age, my daughter began learning shared play.  Currently, April 2013, Brooke cares for my toddler who is almost 3 (who does a half day at preschool) and my newborn who is 4 months old.  I trust her wholeheartedly with my children.  As Brooke offers nanny sharing, this provides a shared learning experience for the children and a reduced cost for the parents.  She is professional, organized, reliable, college educated, and comes from a family.  I recommend her without hesitation.

Brooke started caring for our son when he was 3 1/2 months old. I knew from our first meeting with her that she was going to be a great fit for us. She was very professional and prepared. When talking with her she demonstrated a great knowledge of caring for young children and has outstandingly proven that in the few months our son has been with her. She is attentive and caring, but has also found that delicate balance that helps our son grow and be a little more independent. Within the first few weeks of being with Brooke we saw his development sky rocket. In no time he was rolling over, he also enjoyed being on his belly and riding in the car seat (things that were very upsetting for him before that). Now he's sitting up on his own and entertaining himself with toys. We really do credit Brooke with speeding his development along. And he's so happy with her. He greets her every morning with the biggest grin. 

Brooke's professionalism and demeanor made my transition back to work so easy. I really can't say enough good things about her. She's a joy to talk to and has been so accommodating with us. I have no doubts that our son is in great hands with her and it's wonderful to hear about their little adventures at the end of the day. She takes him to parks, museums and story time at the library. I think it's fantastic that he gets exposure to all those different activities.

All in all, Brooke is an outstanding caretaker. She is knowledgeable, attentive and really loves the kids she works with. And they love being with her. At the end of the day I think that's what really matters.

Brooke has been a great daycare provider for my daughter. She started watching her when we was 4 months old and my daughter immediately took to her.  She is now almost a year. She loves playing with and seeing Brooke. She's been great about sharing what she did during the day, her demeanor, and anything additional. She even would send me the occasional picture during the day of what they were up to. I love that she isn't sitting around in a facility all day long and goes to the park, indoor gyms, saw a magician, went to gymnastics, and so on. Brooke is easy to work with at an adult level as well. She is professional and responds to your personal needs and even your schedule needs. Lucky to have her!

Brooke has been nannying for my daughter on the weekends for almost a year.  She started with me when my daughter was about 6 months old.  The first thing I notice about her is her professionalism.  She interacted with my daughter with great ease from day one.  She also took the time to make me feel comfortable.  As a first time mother, I was initially uncomfortable with someone else taking care of my daughter.  But I quickly grew comfortable with Brooke and now look forward to having her over.  She is very interactive with my daughter and even takes her out on little trips during the day.  I would definitely not let her do this if I did not trust her 100%.  She does a great job caring for my daughter and anticipating her needs.  I highly recommend Brooke as a nanny.
