Episode 14: Keeping Kids at the Center: The Importance of Consistent Childcare Post-Divorce

Our guest for today's episode:

Brynn Ungerleider

babysitting so I could afford to buy CDs at the mall—talk about aging myself! What began as a fun way to earn cash soon turned into a 20+ year career in nannying and household management. I realized nannying is about providing enrichment, coaching children, and supporting families through life’s ups and downs. I help kids recognize their potential, often reminding them, ‘Where there’s a will, there’s a way,’ while also guiding parents to stay grounded when challenges arise. Helping others has always been my purpose. From my first babysitting gig to working with families across the country, I’ve supported parents through both the joys and the chaos of home life. With over two decades of experience, I created this agency with career-driven mothers, divorced families, and everyone in-between in mind. Someday, I too hope the love and support I’ve given will come full circle when I juggle motherhood and my career.
