Kaitlin 2 reviews
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m Ms. Kaitlin, a Master’s-level Special Education teacher with over 10 years of experience working with children. I currently lead my own classroom and have extensive experience supporting children with a wide range of abilities, learning styles, and developmental needs. I’m known for being calm, patient, and nurturing while also providing structure and clear expectations. Whether supporting homework, routines, play, or emotional regulation, I aim to create a safe, positive environment where children feel supported and understood.

“Kaitlin is, by far, the best babysitter we have ever had. We hired her during the summer of Covid and she worked with our family the entire next school year. She is smart, thoughtful, helped our kids with their schoolwork, hiked and played sports with them and was FUN. Our dog. Our kids. Me. We all love her and consider her family. She is easygoing but thoughtfully strict when needed. She is probably the most creative person I’ve ever met. She is the absolute best. Can’t recommend her enough!”

Childcare Experience: I specialize in working with infants and toddlers, providing care such as: • Diaper changing • Feeding and managing sleep schedules • Montessori-style play and activities • Potty training • Creating sensory activities tailored to developmental stages I’m passionate about arts, games, and spending time outdoors. Above all, I focus on ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for the children in my care. I am also CPR/First Aid certified and Trustline certified. Family Assistance: In addition to childcare, I bring experience in various family assisting tasks, such as: • Meal prep and dinner planning • Driving children to activities • Organizing and maintaining schedules • Grocery shopping and running errands • Car and house maintenance • Researching and booking travel • Pet care A Little About Me: I am an animal lover and enjoy integrating this passion into my work when possible. If you feel that my experience and qualities align with your family’s needs, I’d love the opportunity to connect.

“Mariah was wonderful to work with; she helped us for a few mornings with our two boys (infant and 4). She jumped right in, got them both out the door and still had time to clean. She knew the right things to ask in the boys routines, took initiative in organizing our mess (which we desperately needed) and was fun to chat with. We would hire her again ”

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
