A little bit about me

With nearly a decade of experience in childcare and household management, I bring warmth, structure, and genuine passion to every family I work with. I specialize in long-term placements, travel nannying, and overnight care, thriving as a true partner in a family's daily rhythm.
Watching a child gain confidence is what drives me — I show up every day intentional and present, because I know these years matter.
My experience spans infants through school-age children, including newborn care, potty training, and travel coordination. I'm comfortable managing schedules, household systems, and appointments to keep the home running smoothly.
A certified Pilates instructor with current CPR and First Aid certifications, I'm known for being reliable, discreet, and deeply communicative.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

Worked for afterschool programs, summer camps and preschools

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love getting kids outside — nature walks, beach days, and bike rides are some of my favorite ways to spend the day. Fresh air and movement are non-negotiables for me.
In the kitchen, I love baking simple recipes with kids and turning everyday moments into learning opportunities. Hands-on, sensory-rich play is where children thrive.
Books are a big part of my life, and I love sharing that with kids — whether it's a picture book at bedtime or making up silly stories on the go.
I enjoy teaching real-life skills too, like helping in the kitchen, tidying up, or caring for a plant. Kids light up when they feel capable and trusted.
Drawing on my Pilates background, I also love weaving movement and stretching into play in a fun, age-appropriate way.

Full-Time Nanny Available in Encinitas, CA: Brianna S.

Hi! I’m Brianna. I’m warm, patient, reliable, and attentive, and I’ve always had a genuine love for working with kids. I have a background in Psychology, which has given me a deeper understanding of child development, emotions, and how important it is for kids to feel safe, supported, and understood.
I really enjoy being hands-on and involved, whether that’s getting outside, doing crafts, reading, helping with homework, or just being someone they can have fun and feel comfortable with. I’m also very respectful of each family’s routines and parenting style, and I know how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your children.

Jody M. - Seeking Work in Encinitas

Live-In Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Encinitas, CA: Jody M.

I'm hoping to find a fulfilling, long-term nanny/family assistant position through your agency. I bring over 30 years of hands-on experience as a stay-at-home mother, household manager, and full-time caregiver, along with a professional background in administrative and business support. The combination lets me offer both the warmth of a devoted caregiver and the organization and reliability of an experienced professional. I have extensive experience with daily family life--childcare, meal planning, carpooling, homework support, and coordinating schedules. Additionally I oversaw multiple investment properties, which sharpened my organization and problem-solving skills well beyond the day-to-day of running a household. I also bring a sense of humor and contagiously optimistic outlook to everything I do, which I believe makes a real difference in a child's day-to-day life.
I'm excited to begin this next chapter to a family looking for a long-term, dependable, loving partner in care.
