Start With Real Life
You do not need to know which service to ask for. Start with the part of family life that keeps taking more than you have to give.
We can turn good advice, school ideas, provider recommendations, or a diagnosis into practical next steps that fit your household.

See ways we can helpSupport That Fits
For the parts of family life that still feel hard after the appointment, diagnosis, school meeting, or good advice.You do not need the perfect words before reaching out.
Interwoven Family Care™ is for what comes after the advice, when you don’t have room for one more thing but life keeps asking of you anyway. We help you make recommendations work, get ready to speak up in appointments, figure out where to begin, and get the support that makes a difference. You don’t have to figure out how to make it work alone.
Together, we sit with the chaos-beast as it is and find the threads of your life that matter. We gently work them loose, one at a time, until it is untangled enough to move without tugging the rest of your life out of place.

About IFC
Interwoven Family Care is made for the parts of family life that do not fit neatly into a preset service: routines, relationships, stress, capacity, values, chaos, and calm.
Care is shaped with families, not pushed onto them. The work begins with listening, documenting, noticing what you already do well, and building from there.
This work is for families needing practical, relationship-based help that respects the people who live there.
The goal is less stress and more room for you to enjoy time with your family.
Deeper Philosophy
Childcare is one thread in the larger tapestry of family support. Families are whole systems. A hard morning can shape the whole day. Your exhaustion, your child’s needs, your home setup, your schedule, and your relationships all shape what is possible.
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.
Send an email, schedule a 30-minute call, or fill out the inquiry form. We’ll go from there.
You can start with whatever feels hardest, what is already working, what you have tried, or just what you wish felt easier.
Now we can look at what your family needs, what IFC offers, and figure out together what would help most.
An open and honest conversation
Interwoven Family Care is private pay at this time. Cost is something we can talk through as soon as you want. You do not need a perfect plan before reaching out. We can talk about what would help, what feels realistic, and what options are worth exploring.
IFC is learning more about possible funding paths and family support resources. If you already receive services or support, you are welcome to ask whether there may be a connection.
Talking through care also means talking through what is sustainable for your family. That includes financially. The goal is to work with families openly in a way that is honest, practical, and clear. Any cost is agreed clearly before support begins.
FAQs
Yes. This is central to our work. We work with families navigating all kinds of complex needs, including Autism, ADHD, sensory needs, developmental differences, and more. Care is shaped through listening, observation, and respect for what each person and the household as a whole are already communicating, so support can grow with real life.
Support is shaped around your family. It could be during the after-school stretch, when everyone is tired and still needs care, dinner, help winding down, and connection.
In those moments, we can bring another steady adult into your home: playing, helping with transitions, supporting feelings, noticing needs, folding laundry, loading dishes, organizing a space that is not working, or talking through what keeps feeling hardest.
We pay attention to your patterns, stress points, communication style, and what might help tomorrow feel a little smoother.
Adaptive care changes with your family’s needs, schedule, and capacity. We do not ask families to fit into a box. We build care around your real situation and adjust as your needs change.
Interwoven Family Care supports families with children and youth from birth through 18. Care may include adult caregivers, siblings, and extended family. If you are wondering whether your situation fits, tell us about your household and what you are carrying.

No. We are not therapy, clinical treatment, legal representation, special education representation, formal case management, medical care, or crisis support. We offer practical, relationship-based family support and coaching that can help carry recommendations, routines, and everyday care into real life.
Trust & Experience
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
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 & Family Support Provider at Interwoven Family Care™. I built this work after more than a decade alongside children and families in early childhood centers, in-home care, and community programs.
Again and again, my work has brought me alongside children with higher support needs and families holding several kinds of complexity at once. I am comfortable in the thick of family life and am happy to jump in no matter the mess.
My background includes Reggio Emilia-inspired programs, Montessori, Head Start and Early Head Start, in-home care, and community-based family support. I lean towards play-based learning and relationship-centered practices and have deep respect for environments that encourage independence, curiosity, critical thinking, regulation, and belonging.
More than anything, I believe this work has to be specific to your family. I want you to reach out and talk with me, because your family's nuance matters. Your children, your household, your schedule, your worries, your values, and your hopes all shape what care should look like for you.
