Hey DMV family, my names Bria, I’m a fun, experienced babysitter/nanny based in the D.C. area, and I’ve had the joy of caring for kids from newborns all the way teenagers. I currently work in an elementary school, so I bring a mix of structure and fun to every day. I’m certified in First Aid, CPR, and food handling, and I’m also a big fan of arts and crafts—so we’ll have plenty of creative time together! On top of childcare, I help with cooking, light cleaning, and I’m a total pet lover—dogs and cats included. I can’t wait to meet your family and create a safe, happy, and joyful space for your kids!

I also have a deep interest with the psychological human mind, due to it playing a crucial part within my art pieces it leads me to be well educated on how to interact with others. More so understanding where people come from and developing a deep care with understanding how to resolve the issue.
