Experience: 3 yrs
Nurturing young minds is my greatest passion! With three years of experience caring for children ages 2-6, I create a safe and stimulating environment where they can thrive. My coursework in Early Child Development enhances my ability to understand and support each child's unique needs. I'm patient, friendly, and always follow the parents' lead when it comes to household rules and discipline. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games that make learning fun. I'm comfortable caring for up to two children and am happy to help with cooking, carpooling, and light housekeeping. I communicate with parents through verbal updates, text, or phone calls, always respecting your preferred method. I'm eager to bring my energy and dedication to your family.
Breahna has been such a wonderful gift to our family. We absolutely love her, and anyone who has the opportunity to spend time with her will feel the same. Breahna cared for my 7-year-old daughter while we were in the Bay Area, and she quickly became one of our greatest blessings. My daughter is highly energetic and very sensitive, and separating from me—especially when I leave for work—has always been extremely difficult for her and for our family. Then we met Breahna, and she was truly a breath of fresh air, relief, and support. For the first time ever, my daughter had no tears or protests when I left because she was with Breahna. Breahna has the biggest heart. She is loving, kind, sweet, patient, understanding, and deeply present and engaging. My daughter, who would normally call me every time I left her, never once called while she was with Breahna. She felt completely safe, happy, and cared for. All of her needs—emotional, mental, and physical—were consistently met. Breahna was especially in tune with my daughter, A, who has ADHD and can be quite challenging. She anticipated A’s needs, noticing when she needed to eat even if she insisted she wasn’t hungry, and keeping her engaged and supported throughout the day. Breahna came alongside A as both a friend and a mentor, sharing special adventures like playdates, nail time, and boba runs. Breahna was an absolute joy to work with—an excellent communicator, always responsive, reliable, and dependable. She is incredibly mature, responsible, adaptable, and able to go with the flow in any environment. She is also the only person who has ever been able to get my child to sleep and handled bedtime like a true rockstar. A adored Breahna and always greeted her with warmth and happiness. Breahna was truly a lighthouse for our family, and we miss her dearly. She would be an incredible gift and blessing to any family lucky enough to have her.
