Hi! My name is Katelynn, I’m 20 years old, originally from Fresno, and currently in school pursuing my goal of becoming a Registered Nurse. I’ve always had a passion for working with children and hope to eventually become a pediatric nurse. I’m the oldest of five, so caring for kids has always been a big part of my life. I naturally have a very nurturing and responsible personality, and I’ve always been the “motherly” one among my siblings and friends. I currently work as a respite worker and have been doing so for over a year. I care for individuals with disabilities of all ages, with most of the children I work with being under 15. Before that, I was a swim instructor for three years, primarily working with toddlers and young children. These experiences have taught me how to be patient, attentive, dependable, and comfortable working with children with different personalities and needs. I genuinely love being around kids and have always enjoyed creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for them. I’m very patient and comfortable handling big emotions, tantrums, and challenging moments. I believe every child is different, and I always try to meet them where they are while making sure they feel heard, supported, and cared for. I’m responsible, caring, and trustworthy, and I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s child very seriously. Whether it’s playing, helping with homework, keeping them on their routine, or simply being there for them while their parents are away, I truly enjoy what I do and would love the opportunity to become someone your family can rely on!

Hi! I’m currently in my second year of community college studying Biology. I have 5 siblings and over 15 younger cousins, so I’m definitely no stranger to kids haha! In addition to helping care for my younger siblings and cousins, I’ve babysat for several families with children of various ages over the past year. I’m comfortable with pets, bedtime routines, and keeping kids entertained and engaged. I’ve also completed hands-only CPR training through my job. Outside of babysitting, I enjoy exploring new places, going to the beach, and spending time outdoors. I’m excited to meet new families and help make babysitting a fun and comfortable experience for both parents and kids!

I have several years of paid and volunteer experience caring for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and elementary-aged children. As a teenager, I volunteered with young athletes through the Special Olympics and helped elementary students who were new to the United States develop their English-language skills.During college, I worked as a tutor and caregiver for elementary-aged students. I supervised daily activities, maintained a safe and positive environment, supported homework completion, and helped children develop skills through activities such as essay contests, math competitions, sewing, arts and crafts, and educational games.I also completed coursework in Child and Adolescent Development, including children and family life, infant care, child development, and safety practices. I later worked in a Montessori toddler classroom, where I received Montessori training and supported lessons in practical life, art, math, and language. My responsibilities included helping children strengthen fine-motor skills, vocabulary, early literacy, independence, and social-emotional development.In addition to my classroom experience, I have provided babysitting and nanny care for families from the schools where I worked. I have supported families during weekdays, weekends, special occasions, and short-term childcare needs. I am patient, attentive, organized, and committed to helping children feel safe, engaged, and cared for.
