My name is Brooklyn; I moved to Texas from out of state. I am currently an accounting manager for a nonprofit. I am available for after-work and weekend childcare. While living in San Diego, CA, I babysat for several families. I did after-school pickup and drop off at sports for two siblings for one family, and then I did weekend babysitting for another family with two siblings. In addition to babysitting, I assisted in teaching summer dance and cheer programs for three years, I took a couple of child development classes in high school and college, volunteered to help a preschool class a few times a year at the preschool my mother worked at, and nannied a 1-year-old for a year. I also help my sister with her 6 year old twins. I have extensive knowledge of everything Disney does, know a bit about sports, and am up-to-date on kids' shows. I'm fun and energetic and love to be active and engaging. *For pet owners, please inform me if you have a cat. I am deathly allergic.*
“Brooklyn was great we look forward to having her again!”

Certified nursery and children’s church teacher, Certified RDA. i currently have three dogs, provided childcare for a baby from one month old to two years old.
Caring for others has always come naturally to me. Whether it’s looking after kids, helping seniors feel supported, or making sure pets feel loved, I believe everyone deserves kindness and patience. I’m dependable, attentive, and great at creating a warm, safe environment. I also enjoy keeping things organized, preparing meals, cleaning, and making daily life a little easier. Most of all, I love building real connections and making people feel valued, comfortable, and cared for.
