Start with what feels hard.
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 real life, and think: how am I supposed to make that work? Show me what the problem looks like at home, what you have tried, and how the advice has been going. I will help you pull it apart, notice what may be getting missed, and suggest something different to try.

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.
Deeper Philosophy
Care Starts With Understanding
Childcare is one thread in the larger weave of family support. IFC looks at the people, relationships, routines, environment, stress, strengths, values, and capacity around what feels hard.
Every family member matters as an individual and is shaped by relationships, routines, home life, community, capacity, and need. We look at the whole picture so support can fit the actual family in front of us.
Life happens. Schedules shift, routines shift, needs shift, and family capacity changes. Our care is designed to move with your family, without shame, pressure, or extra hoops.
Trust is built over time, especially when support happens inside your home and family life. We show up with consistency, curiosity, respect, and honest communication so families can feel safe being real about what is hard.
Families are not meant to do this alone. Meaningful care includes connection, belonging, community resources, and relationships that help families feel supported beyond one conversation or one visit.

Cost of Care
Interwoven Family Care is primarily private pay at this time. You do not need a perfect plan before asking about cost. The website includes examples so families can picture possible support, and every arrangement receives a written scope and price before support begins.
IFC is researching future funding and accessibility pathways, but none are promised until they are verified and usable.

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.
