A little bit about me

My name is Kaitlyn, and I’m currently a Psychology student at UIC. I’m a caring, patient, and responsible person who genuinely enjoys working with children. I have experience caring for children through babysitting my younger cousins, working in children’s ministry, summer programs, and my current work as a Behavior Assistant, where I support children with their communication, learning, and daily routines.

I enjoy creating a fun, safe, and comfortable environment for kids while making sure they feel supported and cared for. I’m dependable, organized, and easy to communicate with, and I understand the importance of building trust with both children and their families. I’d love the opportunity to become someone your family can rely on!
