Booked by 4 families in Spokane, WA

Hello! I’m Kaitlynn and I’m excited to work with you and your kiddos! I am an alumna of the UW with a degree in biology, planning on heading to medical school. I am hoping to find a few families that I can babysit for consistently so myself, and the kids and parents alike can be comfortable and confident. I have previously volunteered as a tutor of varying ages (5-13), and helped take care of my nephew who is now 10 years old. I am BLS certified and knowledgeable on basic first aid (though not certified in that). I am preparing for the MCAT and working (my job is highly variable and I am able to set my schedule for the most part) during this gap year. I look forward to talking with you soon!

“Kaitlynn was great! Punctual, professional, and great with our girls. They had a ton of fun.”

In these roles, I have been known to be caring, encouraging, and develop strong relationships with kids of all ages.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
