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

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
If getting out the door, bedtime, handoffs, cleanup, or any other everyday transition keeps becoming hard, I can help in the moment. That may mean helping your child through it, caring for siblings so you can hold space for your child, or stepping in when you need a minute. We can talk about what you are seeing, what I am seeing, and adjust the routine together so it works better for your family.
-
Advocacy Preparation
If you have a school, healthcare, or other important meeting coming up, I can help you sort through what you want to make sure gets discussed. I can organize notes, prepare questions, and, if you need, attend with you to listen and help you keep track of what was said. Afterward, we can debrief, sort through what still needs clarification, and figure out next steps. I am there to support and prepare you.
-
Making Recommendations Work
When advice makes sense on paper but is hard to apply to real life, let me help. We can figure out what the recommendation looks like for your family, put supports in place, try things together, and change what needs it along the way. I can also help find opportunities to participate outside the home and in the community.
-
Home Environment Support
Is your home working for you or against you? Can your child reach what they need, put things away, and genuinely participate in caring for the home? If there’s a space in your home that’s making life harder, I can help you figure out what needs to shift and work on it with you.
-
Practical In-Home Care
Sometimes you need a partner. Let me assist in caring for your children, keeping the day moving, stepping in where you need me, and giving you room to do whatever you want or need to do with that time. I’m there to carry part of that load with and for you.
-
Resource Navigation
There are a lot of resources out there, and knowing which ones are worth your time can be half the battle. I understand local systems well and can help you find options that fit and understand how to access them. I can help with the process as needed. Sometimes it’s paperwork, a phone call, or just knowing where to start.
You don’t need to know what particular service you need before reaching out. Just tell me what feels hard and we’ll talk about what’s happening. We’ll figure out what support fits, and I’ll make sure you understand what I’m recommending and what it will cost before you decide whether you want 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, with a background in early childhood education, in-home care, Reggio Emilia- and Montessori-inspired environments, and Head Start/Early Head Start. My experience also includes trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming support for 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’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.
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.
