I am a mother of one, 17 year old daughter. I am CPR and first aid certified. I have worked with children my entire life. Most recently the past five years in elementary schools. I have always had a passion for children and enjoy helping families as needed.

My name is Brandi! I am 22 years old and a senior at North Carolina A&T State University. I currently major in marketing and I own a photography business. I live in the Anne Arundel County, Annapolis area and absolutely love working with kids. I grew up with a daycare in-home for 18 years. Over the years, I’ve learned the importance of creativity and patience as every child requires it. I’ve even worked closely with many children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. This has required being kind, offering help, and paying close attention. Working with children of all ages has given me the responsibility of school drop offs/ pick ups, feedings, fun activities, clean up, homework help, and more! I love to see kids just be kids, have fun, and be happy, as there are so many pressures in this world. Playing a part in that happiness is so special to me. I am also great at running errands as I get them done while communicating efficiently!

I have over 35yrs exp with children of all ages-newborn thru high school, with/without special needs/disabilities. I also work with the elderly, assisting as needed. Will assist in daily household Mangement (errands,dishes,laundry etc). I have an excellent driving record, first aid-cpr certified, I am fully Covid vaccinated along with a host of other certifications. I will bring along a small portfolio for your viewing along with references. I am available for late nights, date nights, overnights, weekends, and emergencies & last minute notices if I’m available. I also have access to get on base.
