About me

Hi, I’m Briana, you can call me Briie — your dedicated support in early parenthood. Based in New York, I bring over 6 years of hands-on experience as a Newborn Care Specialist, Sleep Training Consultant, and Nanny. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with families across the U.S., the Caribbean, and Europe — offering compassionate, reliable, and personalized care in those precious early stages of a child’s life. My approach is rooted in respect, empathy, and trust. I believe every child is wonderfully unique and deserves care that nurtures not only their physical needs but also their emotional well-being and sense of self. Whether I’m supporting parents through sleepless nights, helping newborns adjust to healthy routines, or engaging older children in meaningful play, I bring a calm, attentive presence to every home I enter. As a Certified Nursing Assistant with experience in special needs care, I’m comfortable navigating complex family dynamics and health-related concerns. I’m also deeply committed to discretion, professionalism, and confidentiality, ensuring peace of mind for every family I work with. To me, this work is more than a job — it’s a calling. Supporting growing families and nurturing young minds during their most formative moments is a responsibility I hold with deep care and integrity. If you're looking for someone who will show up with heart, experience, and a deep commitment to your child’s well-being, I’d be honored to connect with you. Warmly, Briie

Briana came to our family at the right time. A few weeks post partum I quickly realized I was going to need some help especially at nights. Briana helped me as a new mom learn the nuances of newborn care. From feeding to diaper changes and teaching us how to care for cradle cap- Briana did it all. Most importantly she helped with setting sleep schedules and gave me relief at nights so I could rest to tackle the next day. All in all Briana was excellent and I would highly recommend her to any family in search of assistance with a newborn.

Briana was such a blessing during the newborn phase with our third baby. We didn’t use a night nurse with our first two children, so we weren’t sure what to expect and honestly, I was a bit nervous. But Briana immediately put us at ease with her calm, professional, and caring approach. She took amazing care of our newborn overnight, allowing us to truly rest. Her thoughtful morning updates made us feel confident and informed. Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made!

After weeks of sleepless nights and trying every tip we could find online, we finally reached out to Briie for her sleep training consultation — and it was one of the best decisions we’ve made as new parents. She took the time to understand our baby’s unique sleep patterns and created a personalized plan that was gentle, effective, and easy to follow. Within just a few days, our little one was falling asleep independently and sleeping longer stretches at night. What stood out most was Briie’s calm, supportive approach and her ability to reassure us every step of the way. She never made us feel judged or overwhelmed. She was available for check-ins, offered thoughtful tweaks when needed, and truly cared about our success. We feel like ourselves again — rested, confident, and connected. We’re so grateful for Briie and would recommend her to any family navigating sleep challenges.
