Kaitlyn $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Kaitlyn, and I recently graduated from The College of New Jersey with a degree in Psychology & Elementary Education. I am continuing my education next year to earn my master’s degree in Special Education. I have several years of experience working with children through summer camps, tutoring, volunteer programs, and classroom placements. I have worked with children of different ages and abilities, including students with special needs. Responsibilities have included supervising activities, helping with homework, creating fun crafts and games, preparing meals/snacks, and keeping daily routines running smoothly. Families would describe me as patient, caring, responsible, and energetic. I love building positive relationships with children and creating a safe, supportive environment where they feel comfortable and engaged. I am also happy to help with light household tasks, organization, meal prep, and pet care.

During my time as an au pair abroad, I built strong bonds with the children I cared for, supporting their education, hobbies, and emotional growth. I’m responsible, adaptable, and skilled in household management, making me an asset to any family. I also bring experience with pet care and enjoy creating a fun and positive atmosphere for everyone in the home.
