I attended college, and although I didn't receive a degree I was given several opportunities to be an assistant teacher & a lead teacher in different daycare facilities because of my qualifications & background in child development. I've taught from infant- 5 years... I have 20 years in teaching, & 30+ years working with children, special needs, & senior citizens. I set on the board of education at my son's school, who is my everything... I have a background in ABA Therapy as well. Not only am I a nanny but an educator. I help your little ones prepare for preschool by teaching them the fundamentals, helping encourage independence redirecting, and age-appropriate activities while providing a safe atmosphere & giving the parents peace of mind while working... This is where my heart is & if it's not in you it's not for you!

Branndi is a gift, an angel, an amazing caretaker, and a truly special person. Branndi has been with our family as our daughter’s nanny from age 6 months until 21 months, when she’ll be starting school. Branndi has a beautiful and unique gift in how she cares for children. She has an innate sense to know exactly what our daughter needs day in and day out, whether it’s a hug, a moment, alone, a lesson learned, a snack, a nap, etc. It’s that innate sense coupled with her extensive experience, and undeniable love for our daughter that has lead us to trust her unwaveringly. She has helped nurture our daughter into the confident, loving, independent, smart, polite, empathetic, and happy person that she is. When Branndi walks in the door, our daughter yells her name and runs to her! There’s no better proof of their bond than that. Branndi has given our daughter all of the experiences and lessons that we would have hoped for and more. She is intentional about how they spend their time, always planning adventures to go on, things to do, places to experience and explore and her philosophy which aligned perfectly with ours is that it’s all about exposing children to places and things that help teach lessons and provide understanding of themselves and world to help them grow, develop life skills and become confident, kind humans. Branndi also goes above and beyond to taker care of our family. She is truly one of a kind. We love her and are so lucky to have her in our lives.
