"Brianna watched our almost 1.5 yo son for 2 - 3 days a week until he was ready to go into daycare/preschool. She is a joy to have. Not only does she listen and mirror your preferred parenting style, she’s warm and kids love her. She would take our son on fun and educational trips (ex. The park & library). She really wants to connect with whomever she’s taking care of and it shows. Our son really benefited from Brianna’s care and attention. We have kept in touch and I know she’s gone on in her career and taken additional early childhood education courses which proves she dedicated to her job and kids"

"Bri watched our youngest for a year after we connected through our eldest’s preschool where she was working as a teacher. Our little guy adores her! She is always on time and communicative if there are any potential schedule issues. With two higher risk kiddos we always appreciated how cautious Bri is with health & wellness, taking care not to bring a bug to work. She handled the day to day tasks (prepping lunch, changing diapers, etc), taking our kiddos on fun adventures and doing creative art projects. She even went on a couple family vacations with us. Bri is a great caregiver!"

Originally from LA, I'm now a second year Global and Community Health major at UC Santa Cruz! In my free time I love to read, go on walks, listen to music, practicing French and ASL, and am currently teaching myself to crochet! I visit family in Australia almost every summer and from it have garnered a love of travel and adventure. I am also very involved in community, the highlight being that I've served as the Head Elf for the last 8 years at my hometown's annual tree lighting event. I have been babysitting for nearly a decade back home and have been wanting to continue to do so now that I have settled into Santa Cruz. I look forward to connecting with families and being a pillar of support.
