My name is Kaitlyn Phee, and I am the Lead Twos Teacher at Mother's Day Out Preschool in Columbia, Missouri. I am currently studying Early Childhood Education online at Grand Canyon University to further my career as a toddler teacher. While earning my degree, I am working full time running my own classroom teaching two year olds basic vocabulary, numbers, concepts, and skills in a play-based but academically motivated learning environment. I previously also led the Junior Preschool class at Mother's Day Out, and before that I co-taught in the Twos room and Threes room at Kids Unlimited Daycare and Preschool in Jefferson City. Teaching and working with kids has been my passion as long as I can remember. In high school, I worked as a volleyball coach at HEAT Volleyball Club in Wisconsin, coaching the VolleySeeds program that worked with kids aged 4-9, as well as assistant coaching the 15s and 12s teams. I've also been babysitting since I was 15 years old. While I primarily work with toddlers at the preschool, I have experience babysitting and taking care of kids of all ages ranging from infant to thirteen. I am also certified in basic first aid and CPR. Outside of working with kids, my hobbies include outdoor activities like hiking and biking, cooking, reading, and sports. I'd love the opportunity to get to know you and your family and would be excited to work with you!

Hi, my name is Haley! I graduated from Tulane University with a bachelors in neuroscience and psychology and from Duke University with a doctorate in Physical Therapy. I work full-time as a neuro physical therapist for Mizzou healthcare, but am looking to earn some extra money to help with my student loans. I have experience babysitting all ages, and I love working with kids. I have volunteered with Miracle League for many years and gotten to work in pediatric clinics through school which has given me the opportunity to work with special needs children as well. I have 3 dogs at home, so I am very comfortable around animals. I tutored elementary - high school for 3 years, so I’m happy to help with homework. I can also help with cooking, cleaning, or anything else you might need. I have my own transportation and am CPR certified. Please feel free to ask any questions!

I am a dependable, friendly, and compassionate babysitter. I am currently a student at Mizzou studying Early Childhood Education. This past year I took a gap year and had the opportunity to work as a full time teacher at WUFLC where I learned so much about the care of children of all ages. I am currently looking for occasional babysitting or a part-time nanny position if it works with my class schedule. I have been working with children since I was 16 years old, babysitting family and family friends' children as well. I have experience with food allergies and the use of an Avi-Q as well as an Epi-pen. I love creating different activities. I love getting the chance to take kids out on adventures to explore their environment through nature along with engaging in arts and crafts to spark our imaginations.
