Hi, Iβm Bryce! I grew up with babysitters and nannies which has inspired me to work with Wyndy! My experience in babysitting has typically been for family friends. Most of my time working with children has been through volunteering, specifically by coaching tot-soccer camps and Special Olympics. I have also interacted with kids through after school programs as a high schooler. I graduated in August with a Masters of Nursing degree and gained a lot of pediatric care experience through school clinical rotations and work. I worked as a pediatric home health nurse which involved respiratory treatments, medication administration, and social interaction with the child. I have also worked alongside elementary school nurses and have watched after kids frequently coming in for care. Most recently, I was a 1:1 school nurse with a medically compromised student. These pediatric nursing jobs translate perfectly to babysitting as I enjoy spending time with kids, Iβm a strong communicator with parents, and I prioritize safety.
