A little bit about me

I have four children of my own. I love child development, and working with children. I have my associates degree in early childhood development and a degree as an associate teacher. I also have a certificate in advanced issues with infants and toddlers. I am CPR certified. I have been teaching T-k for almost 7 years at a local private preschool. I also work with children ages 2-6. I currently have a 2 month old and would love a job where I can bring my infant daughter with me. If you are looking for a nanny to care for your infant, I am perfect for that because I am in that phase of life as well. The ratio in a daycare is 1 to 3 and I can offer a ratio of 1-2 without causing added stress on an infant by going to a new environment. I absolutely love teaching and love all ages of development. I also can provide kindergarten readiness and preschool experiences. I truly believe in creating a safe, loving and compassionate environment.

"Miss Brandi was our son's TK teacher and has become a trusted and integral part of our lives. She advocated for our son to enter kindergarten and helped him navigate friendships, and adjust to school. What stands out most about Miss Brandi is her natural ability to connect with children. She consistently displayed patience, kindness, and a calm demeanor, even in challenging situations. She was always attentive to the needs of the children in her care, while also supporting their independence and encouraging their growth. She is kind and compassionate while being structured. Kyler is a more thoughtful and prepared kindergartener thanks to her love and support. Brandi has been a true blessing in our lives."

"I had the privilege of working alongside Brandi as her co-teacher in summer and neighbor teacher in the class next door, and I can confidently say she is an exceptional childcare provider. She is incredibly gentle, patient, and caring with children, always prioritizing their safety and well-being. She has experience working with a wide variety of students and is especially skilled at preparing young learners for kindergarten. Her classroom was always a joy to visit—it felt like a children’s museum, full of creativity, engaging activities, and thoughtful learning opportunities. Beyond her teaching skills, she worked wonderfully with colleagues and communicated exceptionally well with parents, always fostering a warm and supportive environment. She brings the knowledge, expertise, and heart of a qualified childcare professional. A rare find—I can’t recommend her highly enough!"

"Brandi is kind, gentle, caring and capable. She showed a genuine interest in her students and the parents of her students. She was prepared with interesting, educational, age appropriate and fun activities. She was a team player and helpful to other teachers. Brandi stayed on at the preschool as an employee after I retired in July 2025. I recommend Brandi for this position. She not only cares deeply for children , she gives quality of care!"
