Hi! My name is Brianna and I’m 22 years old. I’ve always loved being around kids and watching how they interact and engage with the world. I’ve done volunteer work at a local preschool, worked as a part-time nanny, and have been babysitting for many years. Most recently, I had the opportunity to work for the Walt Disney Company through the Disney College Program for 6 months, where I worked closely with families and children from all over the world, creating positive, safe, and fun experiences which has only reinforced how much I love working with kids. I am a licensed and experienced driver with my own vehicle. I’m also comfortable cooking a variety of meals, from simple favorites to more complex dishes. Additionally, I’m certified through the American Heart Association for CPR (infant and adult), First Aid, and AED, as well as certified through the American Red Cross for babysitting. I’ve lived in Columbia my whole life and plan to stay here through at least 2026, when I plan to attend law school. I’m super excited to continue working with families in the community. I graduated in May of 2024 from the University of Missouri, majoring in Strategic Communication through the School of Journalism. I’m extremely patient and caring, with an overall goal of wanting the best for whomever I’m around. I love being creative from drawing and painting to crocheting. While I enjoy technology, I much prefer hands-on activities. Connecting with the people and environment around me is an important part of my life, and I would love to share that with your family. If you have any questions, I’d be more than happy to answer them!

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!
