My name is Caitlyn and one of my greatest joys and passions is working with children. I swam competitively early in my childhood all the way through getting a scholarship to compete at the collegiate level at Lewis University. My passion for swimming introduced me to my real passion in coaching and working with children. I have been working with children since a young age including: babysitting, lifeguarding, swim lesson instructor, park district/swim camp counselor, live in help for family with two young children, and swim coach for ages 5-14 over the last 14 years. Coaching has provided me a tremendous opportunity to provide an energetic and positive influence for developing children of different ages and personalities. It has greatly refined my skills in patience, communication, time management, structure & organization, flexibility, and creating a safe, nurturing environment. I have a wonderful ability to connect with children of all ages Read more and love really getting to know each child on an individual level and helping them grow and succeed. In my personal time, I enjoy being active, hiking, biking, doing crafts, using the imagination, and teaching kids to be kind and respectful!
