Hi I am a 16(turning 17 in June) student who is a junior in high school. I go to Holy Trinity which is located in Hicksville NY. I have been babysitting ever since I was younger (starting off with my family). I am currently starting to look at colleges and want to become a nursing major. I also work with special needs kids who are part of the ANCHOR program. I am a very outgoing and reliable person.
I have a fascination for childhood education including first aids training with a specialization in first years obtained during 6y at Peru and Spain in Emilia Barcia Boniffatti and Intermunicipal del Penedes Schools.
Over these 5 years I've worked with childrens from 4 months to 3yo, being part of their development and the obtainence of the walking and communication skills and potty training.
As a babysitter I work for love and kindness towards children putting them as a first priority.
I use to engage with children treating them with respect and authonomy considering their necessities and nature working with parents as a team.
I prefer to use strategies from different education authors as Montessori, Waldorf, Aucouturier and knowledge from different psychologist authors as Skinner, Piaget, Bandura and Vigotsky- as authonomy, daily tasks and home participation, symbolic game, behavioral charts, observation and imitation -all considering the children's necessities.
I also love spending time with children to be more than a sitter, but part of the family so is natural for them being under my supervision.

Hi! My name is Brianna, and I’m an enthusiastic, responsible, and caring babysitter who loves working with children. I recently graduated from Kellenberg Memorial High School and will be attending the University of Michigan this August.
Over the past year, I’ve worked as a dance assistant and assistant cheer coach, where I’ve helped children build confidence, learn new skills, and have fun in a safe and encouraging environment. I’ve also spent years caring for my younger sister, giving me hands-on experience with daily routines, playtime, homework help, and keeping kids happy and engaged.
I believe every child deserves a safe, positive, and fun environment where they can learn and grow. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, reading stories, or assisting with bedtime routines, I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive care that gives parents peace of mind. I look forward to getting to know your family!
