Hi! I’m Brittany — an artist, caregiver, and big believer that kids thrive when they feel safe, supported, and free to create. I love being a sitter because it gives me the chance to spark curiosity, help children grow in confidence, and give parents peace of mind knowing their kids are in good hands. I’ve worked with children of all ages, including those with special needs, and I know how to keep things both fun and structured. I love weaving creativity into our time together — whether it’s hands-on crafts, imaginative play, or just exploring new ideas. My background is diverse: I’ve run art classes, organized kids’ activities, helped the elderly, and even served on active duty in the U.S. military, where I learned reliability, leadership, and a strong sense of care for others. I’m also trained to safely administer medications and handle nurse-like tasks when needed. One extra thing Read more families love: I run my own small creative business called Bunnies Pots! Through it, I have access to a beautiful art studio where I can host fun, affordable events for families — or bring children there for hands-on learning and creative play (included in my sitting rate). It’s a wonderful way to let kids explore art and express themselves in a safe, inspiring space. At my core, I’m trustworthy, kind, and dependable — someone who shows up, stays present, and truly wants to help your children grow and shine.
