Hi! I'm Brea, a 27-year-old Child Developmentalist and Certified Child Life Specialist with a Masters in child development. I have been working with young children for 10+ years & my last nanny position was a 3-year share with two infants & two preschoolers (yes, all at once!). I most recently completed a residency in Child Life at CHOP, one of the best Children's Hospital hospitals in the world. I've worked in hospital, home, camp, & daycare settings with strengths in developmentally appropriate activities, scaffolding emotional development, meal prep, schedule building, & I've been called a baby nap whisperer! I love being creative while planning new activities to do everyday-I am no stranger to getting messy while at work! I'm very active & love to get outside to take long walks or play sports! You can always find me at parks, gardens, street festivals, or running along the lake! I am confident in transit and driving w/ no prior accidents:) Hope to talk soon!
Brea will always hold a special place in our family. We had the privilege of working with her for three years, caring for our two sons from infancy through toddlerhood. I learned so much as a mother by watching the way she cared for our children and by asking her how she would handle different situations. She is deeply passionate about childhood development and brings that expertise thoughtfully into her work—and beyond that, she can truly handle anything. For all three years, we were part of a nanny share with another family, and Brea managed it with incredible ease, even while balancing the needs of different families. In the final six months, she cared for two three-year-olds and two babies, as both families welcomed second children at the same time. I credit Brea with helping cultivate so many of my sons’ skills. Brea is truly incredible.
