Hi there! I'm Kaitlyn Smith. I recently earned my degree in early childhood and elementary education from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and I have been caring for children for many years as a babysitter and an older sister. My philosophy of teaching is to create an environment that allows supervised exploration and experimentation. I believe that most significant learning outcomes occur in situations that are both meaningful and realistic. I believe that integrating constructivist teaching creates successful learners through emphasizing hands-on learning activities, learning by doing. I have a lot of experience working with younger children to young teens. I've student taught in a preschool class, kindergarten, fourth grade, and sixth grade. I truly love working with young kids, and I approach each child as an individual who I get to help grow and teach. I have experience preparing meals for children with dietary restrictions and light house Read more cleaning. I don't possess a current certificate in CPR but can renew before starting date. I'm available on weekdays until 6pm. I have the flexibility to work necessary weekends and planned out later nights. When I'm not in school or babysitting, I enjoy playing cooking, travel, and going to the beach. Fun fact about me, I was homeschooled for a few years when I was younger and traveled internationally with my family. I'm well educated and comfortable with travel. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family and would be happy to provide references if requested. Can also share resume upon request. Will complete driving record or any other required checks through Sittercity upon request. I currently have a background check and fingerprinting done through the state of Hawaii for teaching. (I can begin July 15th 2023, until needed)
