Hi there! I love working in childcare, it's always been a dream job for me. I've been babysitting since I was 12 and a nanny for over 10 years. I have worked with all ages and have great references. I've worked through child action, Urban sitter, Bambino, Facebook and for family and friends. I've grown up watching my cousins , little brother, and nieces and nephews. I've taken 9 units of early childhood education and plan on going back to school to finish and get my certification. I'm cpr/first aid / aed certified. I'm responsible, hard working, caring and trusting. I look forward to meeting you and your family :)

Brandi was great. Our son had a great time with her. We will definitely book her more in the future!
