Hi! My name is Brigeth, and I live in Des Moines. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, CPR certified, and have completed CNA classes. Caring for others has always been something I truly enjoy, and I love creating a safe, fun, and loving environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable.Families describe me as patient, responsible, trustworthy, and energetic. I enjoy spending time outdoors, helping with homework, organizing activities, and making sure children feel supported and cared for. My CNA training has strengthened my communication, problem-solving, and caregiving skills, allowing me to stay calm and attentive in any situation.In addition to childcare, I can assist with light housekeeping, meal preparation, pet care, and household tasks. As someone who is organized and dependable, I always strive to make parents feel confident that their children are in good hands.I would love the opportunity to become a positive and caring presence in your family’s life and provide the best care possible for your little ones.

I’m a newly married, active, and family‑oriented caregiver who recently moved to the Franklin area. I love sewing, baking, staying active, and being involved in my church community. I’ve always dreamed of having a big family of my own one day, and caring for children has always come naturally to me. I have experience nannying full‑time for a family with a 10‑month‑old, 3‑year‑old, and 5‑year‑old, as well as providing occasional care for another family with a 4‑ and 6‑year‑old. I also spent two years volunteering at a daycare in my hometown, served in children’s ministry with preschoolers, and gained meaningful experience working with autistic children ages 1–6. Across every role, I focus on creating a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment where kids feel supported, engaged, and cared for and where parents feel confident and at ease.

Specialized Care: Autism, Developmental Challenges
