Hi, I’m Kaelin—an active, bubbly, creative, and hardworking individual with over 10 years of experience working with children. I have served in various roles, including public school teacher, homeschool teacher, special needs teacher, nanny, tutor, and foster sister. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education from Florida International University, where I graduated in December 2020. I also have a Florida Teachers certification for Birth - 3rd grade and founded a tutoring company called Grow from Learning (www.growfromlearning.com), which embodies my educational philosophy. My journey with children began when I was 12 years old, as my mother decided to start fostering children. We cared for and loved children from newborns to 13-year-olds, which ignited my passion for early childhood. In high school, I volunteered at two different daycares: one was a larger establishment with children aged 1 to 5 years old, and the other was an aftercare program for Read more school-aged children. Throughout college, I worked at multiple daycares, gaining experience with all age groups by assisting throughout the daycare. I also had the opportunity to shadow teachers in elementary classrooms every semester. After receiving my degree, I spent several years as a nanny for children aged 1-12, a homeschool teacher for a 1st and 5th grader, a Special Education Preschool teacher, and a Kindergarten teacher at a charter school. As a creative individual, I love integrating creativity with education. I have designed activities based on age, skill level, and interests. For example, in 2017, I created a six-week summer program for two boys, aged 2 and 4, that included fun activities, interesting information, and field trips. Each week had a theme, such as fire week, where we watched and read stories about fire safety, created a game using red solo cups and a hose, and visited a local fire station to meet firefighters and tour the station. I would love to join a family where we can work together as a team, respect one another, and allow me to help educate their child through fun activities and engaging experiences. My passion is educating and bringing new experiences to every child I’m around. I absolutely love arts and crafts and fun physical activities! Thank you for reading, and I hope to hear from you soon!

Kaelin is amazing! I’ve worked with her over the years for my girls and they love when she comes. She always comes up with the most fun and creative activities to do with them and is great about keeping them on schedule.
