Description

My name is Brittney and I am from Los Angeles, California, USA! I originally was born and raised in Portland, Oregon where I first discovered my passion for serving and being with kids, especially those with special needs. I found that these little humans taught me so much more than I could ever teach them!

I graduated University in 2022 with a Bachelors in Nursing and have officially become a Registered Nurse! I originally wanted to become a pediatric Emergency Room nurse as I love to serve others, especially the pediatric population, but after much thought, I decided to pursue traveling and living abroad at this time in my life.

A little bit more about me is that I was a ballet dancer for 15 years and also sought out other hobbies such as photography and graphic design. While I no longer dance, I have continued to carry my creative side with me, whether it is doing photography or managing a side business, or doing my own interior design projects, I am always finding joy through creating. A few other things I love are boxing, training in the gym, anything crafty, traveling, anything to do with food, exploring new parts of the world, a good game of chess, and learning from the world around me!

People would describe me as someone who’s a huge people person, someone who takes initiative, someone who is dynamic and open-minded, and someone who is passionate. I pride myself on being adaptable and love immersing myself in new cultures and experiences. I'm constantly seeking ways to expand myself, whether it's by trying new foods, learning new languages, or diving into unfamiliar traditions. I believe that every new experience is an opportunity for growth and connection, and I'm excited about the possibility of bringing that mindset to wherever I am.

Solo traveling has been something that was introduced into my life when I moved abroad and has been the number one thing I fell in love with during my time in Europe. My favorite part about solo traveling has been the hostel experiences I’ve had. It is through the people I met at each hostel, where I can honestly say it's been one of the most enriching experiences of my life. The camaraderie, the cultural exchange, and the incredible people I've met along the way have left a permanent mark in my heart.

More details about your skills

I love doing photography, shooting portraits mainly, as well as playing around with videography. I love anything that requires creativity such as graphic design, photography, interior design, putting on events, social media content creation etc.


I was an English Aupair in Milan, Italy for an Italian family of 3 kids who are seeking to expand their children’s English education in a more intimate setting, that extends outside the regular classroom. Life as an English Aupair here involves living directly with the family and providing conversational English to each child, while also developing relevant activities for them to practice. My role here has allowed me to blend my two backgrounds of being a tutor and a nanny, to form a role where I am able to be a versatile educator in their English education to being their big sister who provides care for them. In the span of 8 months of my time here, I have found that these kids have taught me more than I could ever teach them. While I have helped further their English vocabulary and grammar, they have given me a deep desire to continue seeking out experiences where I can encounter new cultures and have reminded me of my passion to not only teach, but to be a student of this world myself.

I have done all sorts of things from starting my own business to having my medical degree to photography to being a nanny/household manager to math tutor.

What else ...

My family and friends would describe me as someone who is out-going and friendly, who seeks out others, someone who is funny and goofy, someone who is creative, personable, passionate, fun, honest, intentional and thoughtful!

I love weight training and boxing! I had 2 trainers at my gym back home and it is one of the things I look forward to each day! I'm a big beach gal, and am someone who loves trying new food, chatting around a campfire with people, playing board games, taking on creative projects and doing photoshoots for people!

I am a creative at heart! I love interior design, fashion, photography, and designing. It is a dream to have my own business one day.
