Hi! My name is Brianna and I’m 22 years old. I’ve always loved being around kids and watching how they interact and engage with the world. I’ve done volunteer work at a local preschool, worked as a part-time nanny, and have been babysitting for many years. Most recently, I had the opportunity to work for the Walt Disney Company through the Disney College Program for 6 months, where I worked closely with families and children from all over the world, creating positive, safe, and fun experiences which has only reinforced how much I love working with kids. I am a licensed and experienced driver with my own vehicle. I’m also comfortable cooking a variety of meals, from simple favorites to more complex dishes. Additionally, I’m certified through the American Heart Association for CPR (infant and adult), First Aid, and AED, as well as certified through the American Red Cross for babysitting. I’ve lived in Columbia my whole life and plan to stay here through at least 2026, when I plan to attend law school. I’m super excited to continue working with families in the community. I graduated in May of 2024 from the University of Missouri, majoring in Strategic Communication through the School of Journalism. I’m extremely patient and caring, with an overall goal of wanting the best for whomever I’m around. I love being creative from drawing and painting to crocheting. While I enjoy technology, I much prefer hands-on activities. Connecting with the people and environment around me is an important part of my life, and I would love to share that with your family. If you have any questions, I’d be more than happy to answer them!
