Experience: 30 yrs
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 not just a nanny — she is family. I am not someone who trusts easily, not even with close relatives, but I trust Branndi with my children completely and without hesitation. That says everything. She brought structure, routine, and genuine love into our home. She is reliable and consistent — always on time, always prepared, always present. She excels at age-appropriate activities, keeping kids engaged and stimulated in ways that are actually fun for them. She’s patient beyond measure, calm under pressure, and handles the chaos of little ones with grace and a smile. She manages schedules, school pickups, meals, and homework without missing a beat. She communicates openly and keeps you informed without you ever having to ask. She is nurturing but also knows how to set boundaries and reinforce the values you’re instilling at home. Safety is always her priority, and you never have to worry. She didn’t just take care of my kids — she invested in them. She was present for major milestones, attended my sister’s wedding, and continues to be a meaningful part of our lives. That is not something you find in a caregiver. That is something rare. If you are looking for someone who will treat your children like her own, look no further. Branndi is the gold standard, and my family is better because of her.
