A little bit about me…

Hello! My name is Tambrisha but I like to go by Brisha, and I’m a loving mom and experienced childcare provider with a background working in school settings. I truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel safe. Being a mother has given me even more patience, understanding, and heart for kids, and I bring that same care into every family I work with.

I have hands-on experience supporting children in structured school environments, assisting with learning activities, routines, and positive behavior. I’m currently nannying to earn extra income while continuing my education, and I love that I get to do it by caring for amazing children.

I’m reliable, nurturing, and attentive, and I always treat every child as if they were my own. I look forward to creating a safe, fun, and supportive space where children can thrive.

A little bit about me…

I am a believer in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and see children as wonderful and precious! They add a layer of enjoyment and challenge to our lives as adults and we have opportunities to teach them healthy ways to interact with the world around them. Shaping character, self image and self esteem, is noble work, and is worth the effort. Kids are intelligent, exploratory, funny, and full of life. I value the opportunity to come alongside a family to support them in their current season of life, even if just for a few hours. Intentional community, love, and healthy relationship models are strong pillars to raising resilient, capable, caring and loving kids. Plus, kids are fun!
