A little bit about me

I’m passionate about creating a fun, engaging and nurturing environment for children of all ages. Over the past 9 years I’ve worked with newborns, and all the way up to high school students in a wide range of settings. I’m responsible, confident, gentle, and patient. I can help with light house cleaning if time allows, but I enjoy giving children my full present engagement. Me and your children will enjoy trips to the park, walks in the neighborhood, lots crafting and baking, reading and coloring, and if allowed field trips to museums, the zoo and much more.

A little bit about me

I have always loved working with children. My experience extends to babysitting here and there, nannying multiple times a week, volunteering with camps, working in schools most specifically in Kindergarten to 3rd grade classrooms, but also have experience with older kids up to middle school and high school ages. I typically help out families locally, but have also travelled with them for trips on occasion. I have my undergraduate degree in Business and Education, focusing primarily on early childhood and Elementary education. Amongst all of that, I have gained experience working with children with a range of differing backgrounds, special needs, and in diverse environments.

A little bit about me

Hello!
My name is Bri, I grew up in Montana. I’m making the move to San Diego this May, and I’d love to be your family’s nanny when I arrive!
I’ve loved working with kids for as long as I can remember. I’ve spent quite a bit of time in the last two years working in preschools, where I’ve learned a lot about child development and age appropriate activities for children and infants to aid in their learning. I’m an artist and I love to do art with the kids, I think it’s an awesome way for them to express themselves!
It’s one of my passions to be a teacher and leader for children as they grow and make their way in the world!
