A little bit about me

Hi my name is Brittany. I am 35 years old and live in Northeast Philadelphia. I am a very reliable, outgoing person who loves the outdoors. Working with children and teaching them on a daily basis is something I love to do. Although I may not have nanny experience I did work with special needs and autistic children for 4 years both in the school district and a home setting. Sadly due to covid the programs were cut dramatically in the school district which then caused the company to shut down. Working with kids is a passion of mine which I would love to get back to. I am very organized, love animals and love to go the extra mile when needed. I have experience with children of all ages as well as non verbal children. I do have a bachelor's degree in criminal justice which is also a passion of mine. I love to read and be outdoors as much as possible. I have reliable transportation and do not mind going the extra mile when needed.

A little bit about me

I’m a career nanny that has been working with children for 20 years. I started as an afterschool care worker in high school and worked my way through college as a toddler aid at the ymca. After college I switched to nannying. I have been a nanny for two full time, long term families and have been the weekend and backup nanny for countless families during my career. I am in my mid 30’s and a lot of my friends have kids that I see on a regular basis. I know raising my own kids is not for me as I am content being an
Aunt and nanny.
My current nanny position is coming to an end soon and I am eager to find the next family to support.
