Booked by 1 family in Monrovia, CA

Hi! My name is Brenda. I absolutely love working with children and creating supportive, engaging, and meaningful experiences for them. I’ve been babysitting since I was 12 years old and have had the joy of caring for some of the same children all the way through their high school years. Building real relationships with families and watching kids grow has been one of the most rewarding parts of my journey. I currently babysit for a wonderful family of three children ages 6, 9, and 12, where I support with dinner, evening routines like reading together, and fun outdoor adventures including hiking and exploring nature. I also occasionally take two girls on cultural and educational excursions around the city, helping them learn through experiences, curiosity, and discovery. I hold a degree in World Arts and Cultures from UCLA, which allows me to bring creativity, storytelling, movement, and arts activities into the time I spend with kids. I value imagination, kindness, learning, and creating an uplifting environment where kids feel safe and supported. For families with teens, I’m also happy to support with college preparation, including guidance on admissions written statements and helping students express their stories and strengths confidently as my professional training centers around supporting students. I’m reliable, patient, nurturing, and genuinely enjoy being part of a child’s world. I would love to support your family, too!

Brenda helped me with an apartment cleaning job - she was on time and very thorough, and she always had a smile on her face. She's great!

I grew up babysitting neighborhood kids and family friends. I have worked as a gymnastics coach to young children where I helped to build motor skills and core strength with fun activities. I care about creating a positive and stimulating environment for children to encourage growth and imagination. I have taught piano in my own studio and believe in the musical influence in brain development. I am also a proud mom of two wonderful and vibrant girls.

I come from a strong caregiving and service-oriented background, and I naturally step into nurturing, responsible roles. I have experience caring for children of various ages through babysitting and nannying for friends, family, and private households. This includes preparing meals, helping with homework, creating engaging activities, maintaining routines, and ensuring a safe, positive environment. In addition to childcare, I’ve also supported seniors by assisting with daily tasks, companionship, organization, errands, and light household duties. I understand the importance of patience, clear communication, and emotional awareness when caring for others, and I take pride in being dependable and attentive. I’m also a longtime pet owner and animal lover, with hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic care, maintaining cleanliness, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I’m calm, patient, observant, and highly responsible. I’m someone families trust quickly because I’m reliable, organized, and emotionally intuitive. I’m very attentive to routines, boundaries, and instructions, while still being warm, playful, and engaging. I’m great at reading a child’s needs whether they need structure, encouragement, or creative play and I adapt easily to different family dynamics. Beyond direct caregiving, I’m very comfortable with household services such as light cleaning, laundry, organizing, meal prep, errands, and maintaining an orderly home. I’m proactive and detail-oriented, so I don’t wait to be told what needs to be done I step in where help is needed. Overall, I bring a combination of trustworthiness, emotional intelligence, and genuine care. I treat every home and family with respect and always aim to make life easier, calmer, and more supported for both parents and children.
