I have coached my daughter in softball all through her elementary days. I was also a Girl Scout leader. For the last 13 years I have coached in a high school environment which would mean that I have had all my background checks and fingerprints on file with the police department.

I currently am a co-lead infant teacher at my current job so I have a lot of experience working with infants. I am also CPR + First Aid certified! I have previously worked with toddlers all the way up to school-agers! I’m available on the weekends, and evenings (5pmish). I enjoy meeting new children, and love to experience their growth as they get older. I would call myself pretty patient, strong minded and a hard worker.

Hello my name is Kaitlin. I have my associates degree in childcare. For the past two and a half years I worked at a daycare. I was in the infants room then in the two year old room. I was a nanny for a family of six kids ages infant to school age. I was a nanny for a couple with a son. I was his nanny from newborn til he was 4. I took care of a family with two daughters. One of the daughters was 1 years old and the other was 3 when I first started take care of them. I am looking to get back into being a nanny being able to have a small group size vs at a center. I am really great at helping children learn through play and discovery. I occasionally take care of a few children on some weekends of the families I use to nanny.
