Hi! My name is Caitlyn and I just graduated Nursing school at Mizzou in the Accelerated program and have moved back to Chicago! I have worked and volunteered my entire life both with older children and younger ones as well. I used to volunteer at the library helping out with the Summer Reading Challenge in Chicago at one of the libraries and absolutely loved being able to help children learn how to talk about their books and give them advice on new books to read. I also volunteered at two organizations for a refugee children in Columbia taking care of children and helping them learn to read, play with them and help them do their homework while their parents learned English. I also worked at a Daycare for children ages 0-4 at a church in Columbia as well. I am fully vaccinated (and boosted) and very excited to hopefully hear from you soon!

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.

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!

Hey! I’m Abby 👋 I’ve been a lead infant teacher for about 3 years, and I’m also a mom to a sweet and energetic 4-year-old girl. I’m currently taking online classes to earn my master’s degree in Instructional Design, and I love using what I learn to create fun, meaningful experiences for kids. Working with babies has always been my passion — I love watching them hit new milestones and seeing their little personalities grow. I think having both personal and professional experience makes such a difference in this field — it’s helped me understand what little ones truly need to feel safe, loved, and supported. When I’m not working, I’m usually watching Netflix, getting a workout in, playing my Nintendo Switch, or spending time with my daughter 💕
