Hey there, my name is Bri! I am a fun loving and very caring individual who absolutely loves kids! Getting to know the kids on an individual level and forming bonds is my favorite part of the job. I have 24 years of experience, taking care of children from infants to preteens also ranging from taking care of one up to five children at a time. I also have some experience with special needs children. I studied premed in college, I went through EMT training and I am CPR certified twice over. Whether it's playing or helping with homework or getting kids ready for school or activities I have done it all and I am good at my job! I have a reliable vehicle and if the kiddos need rides to school, activities or playground visits I have plenty of room and I am a very safe driver. And when it comes to extra duties, like picking up after the kids, doing a few dishes or other small household chores, I am there to help! If you need a résumé or any references, please let me know. Thank you for reading my profile and I hope to hear from you soon!

I've been babysitting my whole life and really enjoy spending time with children. They are genuine, inventive and energetic and a welcome change from the adults I spend most of my time with! I'd love to meet to see if I would be a good fit for you. I began babysitting when I was 12 and haven't stopped since. My youngest sister was born when I was 14 so I have day-to-day experience caring for a young child in my own family. I babysat my way through college, for individual families and for a few churches in a daycare setting. During the summer I worked day camp for school age children and also did respite work with handicapped children. After college I worked full time in the infant and toddler rooms of an Athletic center in Denver for a year - also privately babysitting for several of those families.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
