A little bit about me

Hello, I'm Bri! I have 6 years of experience working as a nanny. During that time, I have cared for multiple families with 1 or more children aged 6 months-12 years old. I currently specialize in infant and toddler care and have so for the past four years!
I believe in fostering a nurturing, yet stimulating environment for children to explore and learn about the world as well as themselves. I follow a child-led approach where children get to be active participants within their environment under the safety and supervision of an adult.
My services include light housekeeping, meal prep, and assistance with personal errands. I have a valid passport and am willing to travel with families in and outside of the U. S. I am vaccinated and am able to provide references, letters of recommendation, and resume upon request.
