    Started Feb. 2025

    I have been in childcare for about 3 years now as an infant teacher, it is my passion! I just recently got married to my best friend. Outside of work I spend my time with my husband and friends. I love to fish, hunt, and being outside in general when it is nice out.

      Started Nov. 2024

      I have been passionate about working with children since my teenage years, when I began caring for my nephew and younger sister. That experience helped me realize that childcare is truly what I want to do. Since joining Cubby Bear, I have felt right at home and I know this is where I am meant to be long term. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my brothers and my boyfriend; visiting the mall or exploring new places.

        Hello -

        I’m so very glad to have this opportunity to help the kids learn and to watch them grow! I live in Watertown WI, with my Fiance. I am an aunt of 13! I have been watching kids, since I was 13 years old! I worked here once before, and im glad I made a comeback! I’ve been in the daycare field for 4 years, and I wouldn’t change anything about it! I enjoy working with kids, and I hope you enjoy all the fun things we do!​​​​​​​​

          Kaylee Hutter

          Starting Oct. 2026

          I have been in Child care for a little over 3 years now. I first started my classes while in high school and have been a lead teacher for the last 2 years. I knew ever since I was kid I wanted to work with children. The thought of watching them strengthen themselves and grow through the years has always amazed me. Outside of work my boyfriend and I like to do a lot of driving and spending time with family and friends. If we are not doing anything we are usually just relaxing at home.

            Children have always held a very special place in my heart, which is why joining Cubby Bear was such an easy choice for me. From the amazing staff and positive, welcoming environment, to getting to know each individual child and family, my experience here has brought me so much joy as well as a wonderful opportunity to create meaningful connections and make a difference in a child’s life. All of these experiences have truly reassured me that I made the right choice in choosing Cubby Bear. Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my friends and family enjoying the people I love most. I also love being outdoors, exploring new places, traveling, and experiencing everything that life has to offer. I’m excited to continue growing, learning, and creating wonderful memories with the Cubby Bear community!
