Hi, my name is Kaylee and I’m currently a junior in college. I joined Wendy because it seemed like a good fit when trying to find a flexible job. I have a lot of experience in childcare because I was a nanny for two children, ages 3 and 6, for a summer and I’ve been babysitting my younger cousins ever since I was in middle school. I come from a big family so I have experience in babysitting kids ages 1-10!I am also CPR(BLS) certified!

My position is a buddy so I mainly lead a group of kids ranging from 3-5 and sometimes 5-12. I don’t have much babysitting experience other than my own family and cousins but I’m willing to do my best!

Hello! I'm Brittnany, and I've been working with kids since I can remember. Childcare has always been a passion of mine as kids have so much to bring to the world that we adults don't always realize 😊 I'm currently working part time at Walt Disney World working to pursue future goals with the company. I enjoy having fun and being as creative as possible, whether that be through storytelling, crafting, or creating new games.
