Children and youth from birth through 18 are the specialty; support may involve caregivers, siblings, and trusted adults around the child or youth.

You’ll Work Directly With Bri
Interwoven Family Care is owner-operated. When you reach out, you’re speaking with me, Brianna Waugh, but call me Bri. I am the person who will be working alongside your family.
I’ve worked with children and families since 2015, with a background in early childhood education, in-home care, Reggio Emilia-inspired and Montessori environments, Head Start and Early Head Start, and trauma-informed support for neurodivergent children and families with layered needs.
That experience shapes how Interwoven Family Care approaches your family life: with curiosity, respect, practical support, and attention to all of you and your family.
Start With Real Life
The advice makes sense. So why isn’t it working for us?
On paper, it should work. Then you look at your family, your reality, and think: how am I supposed to make that work?
Do your best to show me what the problem looks like at home, what you've tried, and how it's been going. Let me help you examine it all, notice what needs noticed, and suggest something clear to try next.
Services
Family support can take different shapes depending on what is making life harder. These are some of the ways I can help.
-
Making Things Work in Real Life
Recommendations that make sense on paper, recurring problems, stuck decisions, or things you have already tried that are not working in your actual family life. We can look at what is getting in the way and find something practical to try next.
-
Routines & Transitions
Mornings, bedtime, leaving the house, after-school decompression, meals, cleanup, appointments, caregiver changes, and other moments that take more energy than they seem like they should.
-
Caregiver Relief & Child-Related Care
Respite, recurring care, backup care, or another capable adult helping hold part of the week when your family needs more breathing room.
-
Environment Support
Small, practical changes to spaces, materials, access, and setup that can support regulation, participation, play, independence, and easier transitions. This is environment support, not interior design or a Pinterest-perfect makeover.
-
Advocacy Preparation
Organizing questions, notes, priorities, and next steps before school or provider conversations so you feel more prepared for what you want to ask, share, or understand. Preparation, not representation.
-
Resource Navigation
Finding, comparing, and sorting through community resources, referrals, programs, or next-step options so the maze feels less impossible. Navigation, not formal case management or guaranteed access.
About IFC
Built around real family life
Interwoven Family Care is built for the parts of family life that do not fit neatly into a preset service. Support is shaped with families around what works, what feels hard, what people communicate, what the environment demands, and what the caregiver can realistically carry.
The goal is not a polished family or a perfect routine. The goal is more clarity, more support, and more moments when daily life feels workable.
How I Work
Childcare is one thread in the larger weave of family support. I look at what is happening around the hard part so the support can fit the actual people, relationships, routines, environment, and capacity involved.
-
Whole-Family Lens
The child is never the only person in the picture. Support considers the people, relationships, routines, and realities around them.
-
Adaptive Support
Family life changes. Support can change with it, without treating a shifted schedule, capacity, or need like a failure.
-
Rooted in Relationship
Trust matters when support happens inside your home and family life. I work with curiosity, consistency, respect, and honest communication.

Trust & Experience
Built on Trust
Bri has been a remarkable caregiver for both of my children, first when my oldest was a toddler and again years later with my younger child. She brings genuine warmth to families and is deeply invested in parent engagement. I have never seen someone connect with children the way she does.
One of my children is nonverbal and autistic, and Bri went above and beyond to connect with him through visual tools and his special interests. She is thorough, follows up with detailed care plans, and her expertise in child development shines through in every interaction. I trust her completely and highly recommend her holistic approach to anyone seeking exceptional child care and family support. I know any parent who walks through her door will feel the same trust and warmth we did.
Bri's holistic care for children, seeing and accepting them just as they are, is phenomenal. She has always shown up for our neurodivergent daughter with real presence and investment in our child's special interests and favorite activities. She brings the same warmth to the whole family and is a true partner in care.
Bri's reliability, strong background in early childhood education and child development, and excellent judgment are additional reasons we have always rested easy when our daughter has been in her care. I highly recommend her to families seeking child care or support, especially families with added layers of needs, including IEPs, 504s, diagnostic processes, and respite care. Our daughter adores Bri and always enjoys their time together.
Bri was an excellent caretaker for my child. She was patient and kind, and took my child's needs to heart. I wholeheartedly recommend her services.
About Bri
Miss Bri
Little Bri, before she had language for being AuDHD. I know what it can mean to be a child who notices everything, feels deeply, and is still learning how to communicate. That kind of understanding is woven into how I care for children and families.
I’m Brianna “Bri” Waugh, Owner and Family Support Provider. I have worked in early childhood education and family-related care since 2015. My background includes an Associate’s Degree with an early-childhood focus, Reggio Emilia-inspired and Montessori experience, Head Start and Early Head Start, in-home care, and work with neurodivergent children and families with layered needs.
I pay attention to what opens a door: the favorite cup, the song that soothes, the color someone chooses every time, the routine that almost works, and the moment everyone keeps getting stuck. Support has to be specific to the family in front of me.
