Hello! My name is Britt, or as my nanny kiddos like to call me, "Bee." I am a career caregiver who loves taking care of people--birth to seniors. My youngest clients are infants, and my oldest client is 85 years old. I am a married mother of two teenagers. My daughter is 18 years old, and my son is 16. I enjoy the simple pleasures of life. I like taking walks, making delicious meals, laughter, and having real and authentic connections. One of my favorite hobbies is swing dancing! I love to wear polka dot dresses that swing nicely when I twirl. :) I really enjoy getting to know the families I work for. I still keep in touch with one of my nanny families from over 20 years ago! I want parents to feel completely at ease when they leave their children in my care. I am reliable, punctual, responsible, and kind. I've worked with preemies, infants, toddlers, preschoolers, school-agers, and teenagers. I am very communicative with parents. And I'd be happy to send updates during care hours if parents feel nervous or concerned about how their child is doing. I have a current certification in CPR/First Aid. Besides my professional work and being a parent myself, I have also spent many volunteer hours working with babies up through teenagers in the church nursery and volunteering with the youth. I'm very much looking forward to meeting some more amazing families and forming some wonderful connections! Please feel free to reach out with any questions you have for me. Wishing you a lovely day! ~Britt
