Meet Brittany

My name is Brittany and I am a twenty-four year old career nanny. I got my start in child care by babysitting around my neighborhood at the age of ten. When I turned fifteen I moved into more full time nannying as well as five summers with my hometown camp as a counselor for 3-5y/o. I have always known that any career that I choose would involve children, and deciding on being a Nanny allows me to not only be surrounded by children but to use my skills and experience to help develop into happy and healthy kids. My family and friends have always called me the baby whisperer and I think that is because children respond instinctively to my nurturing and positive energy. I have found over the years that using my upbeat and outgoing personality makes it possible to get children to complete tasks that they may not Read more want to do or would resist if it is presented to them in a more stern fashion. And while being fun and a cheerleader for my kids is a big part of my job it is equally important that I be calm, reassuring and loving when a child needs me to be. My ability to provide the security and feeling of safety for children is perhaps one of my greatest strengths. I have an ability to establish emotional connections with people very quickly which has allowed me to not only to determine the emotional needs of the children I care for but also helps me be in tune with the needs of the family and offer assistance or suggestions when appropriate. To me this is what being a Nanny is all about.
