The Advice Makes Sense.
So Why Isn’t It Working for Us?
On paper, it works. Then you look at your family and your reality and worry, ‘How am I supposed to make that work?’
Show me what feels hard, what that looks like at home, what you’ve tried, and how it’s going. Let me help you see the whole picture. Let me notice what needs noticing and work with you to find a clear next step.

Routines & Transitions
Whether it’s getting out the door, bedtime, handoffs, cleaning up, or another part of the day, I can help you build routines that work for your family and adjust the ones that aren’t working.
Sometimes that means figuring out what’s making a transition difficult or finding ways for your child to participate more independently. Sometimes you just need another pair of hands. I can help your child through a difficult moment, care for siblings so you can focus on your child, or step in when you need a minute.
You know your family best, and I bring an outside perspective. By working through everyday moments together, we can better understand what helps, what keeps getting in the way, and what might need support. I want our time together to give you more than just one easier morning or single smooth bedtime. I want you and your children to feel more capable and confident, not just while I’m there, but as you continue learning and figuring things out together long after my visit.

Advocacy Preparation
When you’re preparing for a conversation or meeting about your child, I can help you sort through your thoughts, concerns, and questions so you know what you want to make sure gets discussed.
Depending on what you need, we can go through your records, organize your notes, and prepare questions together.
If you’d like me with you there, I can also attend the meeting with you. You’re there to have the conversation, and I’m there to document what’s discussed and help you keep track of what you wanted to address, including questions that come up during the meeting.
Afterward, we can talk through how the conversation went, review what was discussed, and make room for anything you didn’t get a chance to address.
Together, we can sort through remaining questions, figure out what you might want to follow up on, and figure out your next steps.
-
Making Recommendations Work
When advice makes sense on paper but is hard (or impossible) to apply to your life, let me help.
Together, we can figure out what the recommendation could look like for your family. I can help put practical supports in place, and we can give it a try. We’ll see how it works in your everyday life and tweak what needs it. Or we can try something different.
-
Home Environment Support
Is your home working for you or against you?
If something about your home is making everyday life harder, we can figure out what needs to change and work on it together.
Can your child reach what they need, put things away, and genuinely participate in caring for the home?
Sometimes a change in where things belong or how a space is used can make a real difference in how your family moves through the day.
-
Practical In-Home Care
Sometimes you need a partner who can see your home like you do. Someone who gets to know your family, understands how your days work, and can step in without needing you to explain every little thing.
Maybe you need me to care for your children while you get something done. Maybe you need help caring for your home and keeping the day moving. Or maybe you just need some time to yourself.
Whatever you need that day, I’m there to help carry the weight.
-
Resource Navigation
Finding resources is one thing. Figuring out which ones might actually help your family, and how to access them, is another.
We can look at what’s available and talk through which options make sense for your family.
Paperwork, a phone call, holding your hand through the steps. Whatever helps.
You don’t have to know exactly what you need. Start with what feels hard, and we’ll talk through what’s happening.
From there, we can figure out what kind of support might help. I’ll explain what I’m recommending, what it would look like, and what it would cost before you decide whether to move forward.

About IFC
Care built around your family
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 each person communicates, 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.
Philosophy
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.

About Miss Bri
Working With Miss Bri
Interwoven Family Care is owner-operated. When you reach out, you’re speaking with me, Brianna Waugh. Call me Bri. I am the person who will be working alongside your family.
I’ve worked with children and families 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.
This experience shapes how I work alongside your family: with curiosity, respect, practical support, and attention to each person in your family.
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 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.
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.
