40/M/Apex - I grew up with a Golden Retriever named Fenway, a Vizsla named Punkin, and now I have a 4 year old, 6lb Yorkie named Mosby. I have successfully watched a French Bulldog on a few occasions and have been referred to as the BryMCA...so there's that.

I grew up in a family of 9 kids. My mother also owned a daycare and had a masters degree in special education. I had a great example to learn from! :) I have two children of my own. Both in College! I love to be a support to families who need occasional or part time help with busy schedules these days. This helps me as I continue to grow my health and wellness business and further my education in environmental and health science. I believe in supporting the talents and joys of each child! Mutual respect and healthy boundaries are essential in any interaction and fosters a soul to thrive!
“Julie was amazing with our 6 year old son, she kept him entertained, engaged, and away from screens. He had plenty of outdoor time and was exhausted at the end of the day. ”
