About Kaitlin

Experience: 2 yrs

I officially started working with kids when I was 17 where I got a job as a swim instructor that I held for about two years, but I've been babysitting since I was about 13. Some skills I have include getting kids to cooperate with me, de-escalating situations where a child is in emotional crisis, and using clear communication and boundaries with the kids I work with. I love spazzy kids. I was a super spazzy kid and I'm very good at matching a kid's energy while also maintaining the role of an authority figure. It's important that kids see me as someone they listen to and respect, but also that they're having fun. I grew up often feeling misunderstood or even disliked by my authority figures. It's always important to me that children feel respected by me as an authority figure, and I like being that person for others because I didn't have one. I also like working with kids because I'm a pretty goofy person and I feel like I can be more myself around them.

Reviewed on 1/15/2024

I hired Kaitlin to take care of my 5 and 2.5 year old boys. The moment I saw her interact with my (sometimes spicy) 2.5 year old, I knew I had found an excellent caregiver. She makes everything fun, has a great attitude, and is reliable and responsible. My two have endless energy and she had absolutely no problem keeping them entertained. At the time, our littler one was newly potty trained and she had no issues jumping in to meet him wherever he was that day. I would recommend Kaitlin in an instant as a caregiver for your kids!
