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.
