Brianna R.
- 4 years paid experience
- < 1 mile

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!

I am a mother of three lovely teens, One in college, a senior in high school and one in middle school. Since they are grown, I am looking for the perfect family to share my time with. Aside from the multitudes of endless tasks that come along with raising children as a stay at home mother has brought me, I also have years worth of customer service experience logged in all sorts of settings, from coffeehouses to grocery stores to construction to cannabis farms. I have clerical and business experience, having owned my own electrical contracting company with my husband for twelve years. I have a strong artistic and creative side as a self-employed artist, which also gives me precise attention to detail and makes me highly observant. I'm easily adaptable to learning new ways, I work well on my own, I am self motivated and self sufficient in completing tasks. Housekeeping, homework, meals, you name it... I've done it all. I have the patience, adaptability, and dedication to nurture a loving and respectful atmosphere. I will tailor to your specific and unique family unit needs. Entrusted with your precious children, you will have my deepest care and attention, as though they are my own.

I am a dependable, friendly, and compassionate babysitter. I am currently a student at Mizzou studying Early Childhood Education. This past year I took a gap year and had the opportunity to work as a full time teacher at WUFLC where I learned so much about the care of children of all ages. I am currently looking for occasional babysitting or a part-time nanny position if it works with my class schedule. I have been working with children since I was 16 years old, babysitting family and family friends' children as well. I have experience with food allergies and the use of an Avi-Q as well as an Epi-pen. I love creating different activities. I love getting the chance to take kids out on adventures to explore their environment through nature along with engaging in arts and crafts to spark our imaginations.
