Hi! I'm Kaitlyn. I currently attend Towson University with a major in psychology and an art minor. When I graduate I intend on being a elementary school guidance counselor or an art therapist. I absolutely adore kids, and being with them makes me genuinely happy. I was a counselor for Padonia Park daycamp for 7 years, and was also a head counselor for most of those years and it wasn't even like a job because I loved it so much. I have also previously been a nanny but once the girl reached 13 she no longer needed one. I have also been a swim instructor at both Padonia Park and also Kids First Swim Club. Lastly, this summer I had an internship with Kennedy Kreiger children's hospital working with kids with both severe intellectual issues and serious mental issues which was great! My interests are art and running.

Kaitlyn is an absolute must to have as your babysitter! She seamlessly cared for our colicky 5 month old twins and rambunctious 22 month old, which is not for the faint of heart. She’s unbelievably gentle and kind, able to manage multiple children at a time, reliable and communicative. We feel very fortunate to have found her and can’t recommend her enough and looking forward to more time for her to watch the most important thing in our lives!

On the day she was supposed to babysit she no-showed and blocked my number after I asked if she could bring a mask. She never said a word to me and I was completely fine had she needed to reschedule. Inconsiderate, rude, and misleading. BEWARE.
