A little bit about me

Hi, My name is Katelyn but I like to go by Kate! I am currently a sophomore at UAFS getting a degree in political science waiting for law school.

Taking care of my younger siblings and family members as well as friends children has helped me with my experience today. I have such a soft spot for children and I really want to find a home that is needing someone that is consistent and healthy especially during this time. I will do your cleaning, laundry, shopping and most importantly take care of the children!
