About Benita

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

As a caregiver, my passion lies in nurturing children's growth and development, cultivated through 20 plus years of childcare experience. My patient, creative, and friendly nature allows me to connect with children effortlessly. I prioritize open communication with parents, ensuring their peace of mind through regular updates about their child's day. With a more than 20 of experience, I'm comfortable caring for up to three children of all ages. My diverse skill set includes cooking, meal preparation, carpooling, light housekeeping, travel, and swimming supervision. My First Aid and CPR training further ensures the safety and well-being of the children in my care. I'm excited about the opportunity to positively impact the lives of children and their families.

We were incredibly fortunate to have Benita care for our 2.5-year-old son for almost two months, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Benita's warmth, kindness, and genuine affection for children shone through, putting us instantly at ease. She built a wonderful bond with our son, who looked forward to spending each day with her. Benita has a natural talent for engaging children in creative and educational play. She filled his days with enriching activities—reading, arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, and imaginative games—that kept our little one entertained and stimulated. What stood out most to us was Benita's patience and understanding. Our son is strong minded and curious, which can sometimes be challenging, but Benita handled every situation with such calm and composure. She knew exactly how to set boundaries in a gentle and respectful way that made him feel safe and supported. Her approach instilled a sense of stability and comfort, allowing him to thrive in her care. Benita was also incredibly reliable and communicative. She kept us informed throughout the day with updates and photos, which were always a highlight for us. She showed up on time, consistently, and adapted seamlessly to our family’s schedule. Her presence brought peace of mind, knowing that our son was in such capable and loving hands. We wholeheartedly recommend Benita to any family looking for a dedicated, compassionate, and skilled nanny. She has been a wonderful influence in our son's life, and we feel so grateful to have had her support during this time. Thank you, Benita, for all that you’ve done for our family! We miss you!
