After-school / evening transitions
The After-School Crash
This family's hardest window is the stretch after school and work. Everyone is tired. One child needs space, one needs connection, dinner still has to happen, the backpack pile is somehow everywhere, and bedtime is already breathing down everyone's neck.
Support might look like Bri coming for a 3-hour block during that stretch: helping the children land, supporting transitions, noticing where the rhythm keeps getting stuck, helping with child-related cleanup, and talking with the caregiver about what could make tomorrow feel a little less impossible.
This may include
Child-related care, transition support, regulation support, caregiver conversation, and practical next-step thinking.
This does not include
Therapy, clinical treatment, crisis support, or a formal behavior plan.
Pricing is always talked through before support begins.
Advocacy preparation
Getting Ready for the School Meeting
This caregiver has an IEP or 504 meeting coming up, and the notes, emails, worries, questions, and "wait, what do I even ask?" thoughts are all tangled together.
They do not need someone to take over. They need help slowing it down, sorting what matters, naming concerns clearly, and walking into the meeting with a little more steadiness.
Support might look like a 4-hour focused block for organizing notes, preparing questions, talking through priorities, and making a simple follow-up plan for after the meeting.
This may include
Planning time, note organization, caregiver conversation, and practical next steps before or after a school meeting.
This does not include
Legal advocacy, special education representation, formal case management, or speaking for the family in an official representative role.
Pricing is always talked through before support begins.
Routines, resources, and real home life
Making Home Routines Work
This family has tried the advice. They have heard "use a visual schedule," "make the routine predictable," "support transitions," and "build independence."
None of that is bad advice. It just does not magically install itself in the middle of real life.
Their child may be neurodivergent, sensory-sensitive, demand-sensitive, deeply feeling, easily overwhelmed, or simply having a hard time moving through the day. The family needs help figuring out what actually fits their home, their child, their energy, and their rhythm.
Support might look like Bri spending time in the home, noticing where routines get stuck, helping shape a calmer morning or bedtime rhythm, setting up child-accessible systems, thinking through sensory needs, and helping the family make recommendations more usable.
This may include
In-home observation, routine support, environment support, caregiver conversation, and practical implementation help.
This does not include
Occupational therapy, mental health treatment, diagnostic assessment, or clinical recommendations.
Pricing is always talked through before support begins.
Childcare, respite, and steadiness
Relief and Household Steadiness
This caregiver is stretched thin. Not in a cute "busy season" way. In a "I cannot keep being the only thing holding this whole rhythm together" way.
The family needs breathing room, but they also need the day to keep moving. Children still need care. Transitions still happen. Snacks, cleanup, feelings, laundry piles, appointments, and bedtime do not politely pause just because the caregiver is tired.
Support might look like 10 hours of short-term in-home support spread across the week or month. Bri may support the children, help with transitions, offer respite, notice what is making the day harder, and help with child-related practical tasks that keep the family rhythm from fully tipping over.
This may include
Child-related care, respite, routine support, transition support, caregiver check-ins, and practical help connected to the family's daily rhythm.
This does not include
Housekeeping as a stand-alone service, medical care, crisis support, or clinical treatment.
Pricing is always talked through before support begins.
