Hello! My name is Brighid and I am a college student taking some time off currently. I have been babysitting since I was 13 and have worked at numerous camps and outdoor education programs in the Portland Metro Area, Ithaca, NY area, Costa Rica, and Wisconsin. I emphasize hands-on learning with the children I babysit by allowing them to explore and ask questions. I love working with children and seeing them grow!

Collaborative, empathetic and invested - Brighid immediately earned my absolute trust and made an instant connection with my three children 3-8yrs old! She's a warm positive and caring person who has the magic of being firm and consistent while remaining approachable and loving. Providing before and after school care as well as facilitating online school during 30-35 hours a week, Brighid dealt with the challenges of high energy kids, occasionally unpredictable work schedules and the ongoing pandemic with grace, professionalism and an unwavering focus on the safety and well-being of my kids. She did a phenomenal job ensuring continuity of our discipline and accountability plans, ensuring consistency for my kiddos and making things infinitely easier for little ones in an unpredictable year of change. I couldn't be more pleased with Brighid's work. She has my strongest recommendation for employment in any position of trust! I sure wish she was staying in San Diego so we'd be able to have her around even longer. My family will miss her very very much.
