About Brittany
I discovered very early in life that my passion was working side by side with families and their young children. I have been working with children for over 20 years in many different roles; nanny, teacher, sleep trainer, and as a parent.
Fortunate to have found what I love doing so young, I have focused all of my attention on gaining as much knowledge as I could about the development of young children. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Child Development, I am a certified Montessori teacher and currently teach Special Education at a local public high school.
My philosophy on child rearing is to first and foremost be loving and consistent. Children from birth crave consistency and the more we as the adults in their lives can provide them with it, the more they will thrive and grow. I believe in the power of observation, when we pause and observe the child as opposed to always stepping in, we discover that the child is capable of so much. To raise emotionally healthy children, we have to hold space for their feelings and give them the tools to express themselves.
I am the proud mother of five children, two amazing bonus kids (21 and 20 years old), a creative and loving 8-year-old, and 3-year-old twin boys who keep me on my toes! In our free time, you can find our family traveling the globe, riding our bikes, and making pizza in our backyard.
