A little bit about me

Hello, I’m Kaitlynn Hester. I was born in Cincinnati, Ohio and I have lived there my whole life. I’m a female and i’m 20 years old. I currently am enrolled in my second year at the University of Kentucky majoring in Sports Communications with a minor in Business. I love being around children and helping out parents when they need me too! I also love to clean whenever is needed. I have worked with children before, mostly 10-11 months old and toddlers. I babysat consistently for two years with the same family.
I would love to be a mother someday, therefore I would love helping out families with their children!

Meet a vibrant 63-year-old with a passion for life! An avid cook, I find joy in experimenting with flavors and creating delightful dishes. I find children drawn to adventure and variety if properly presented. Music and theatre are also close to my heart. I offer a rich tapestry of experiences and emotions that inspire creativity. With a love for staying active, I embrace each day with enthusiasm and energy. Having traveled extensively, I cherish the opportunity to immerse myself in diverse cultures and perspectives. I love to share and enrich people's understanding of the world. My zest for life is contagious, making every moment an adventure, especially when it comes to being with children!

A little bit about me

I’m a student at eku double majoring in double minoring in criminal law, psychology, premed, and homeland security! I grow up working with children and know my dream career will involve a lot of child interactions! I think it’s very important for children to be around people. They can respect and look up to, and it makes my day knowing that I can do that for someone’s child.
