Hi there! My name is Kaitlynn and I’m so eager to meet some new families and hopefully form some amazing bonds with you and your kiddos. I relocated to Indy in 2022 after nannying for a wonderful family for three years in Chicago. I spent a few months nannying for various families in the Indy area, and eventually landed at an Early Learning Center where I’ve been ever since. There I was placed as the School-Age teacher and Office Manager. This role required taking on all billing and most administrative duties while also hopping into each classroom frequently to either take over for teachers, advise them on lesson planning and classroom management, or to simply step in and give the kids all the love and care I possibly could. I studied Early Childhood Education at Indiana University Bloomington for several years before landing a wonderful preschool teaching position which led Read more me to continue my studies virtually. I base what I do on the Creative Curriculum and strive to foster all domains of development. This looks like creating environments based on nourishing social-emotional, physical, cognitive, and language development. I'm here to bring all the necessities to the family. Most importantly- lots of love and lots of fun. I practice Conscious Discipline which in recent years has essentially become “gentle parenting”. When met with patience, love, and understanding, I believe every challenge provides an opportunity for bonding and growth. As a nanny, I believe my biggest and most important job/goal is to keep your kiddos safe, enriched, nourished, and happy. I believe that the environment I create is very impactful to those goals. That being said, I’m also big on tidying and organizing when time allows and strive to leave you with a clean slate (along with smiling kiddos!) at the end of the day. Looking forward to hearing from you, thanks for your time!!
