Hi everyone! My name is Kaitlyn and I am 22 years old! I have recently graduated last spring with two bachelors degrees in criminal justice and psychology and am currently pursuing my masters degree in social work. I have always had a passion to work with children and have worked with children since I was about 12 years old. I have experience with babysitting, being a swim instructor, summer camp counselor, and an intern at Black Mountain Home for Children. I have experience with working with children who have mental illnesses and intellectual developmental disabilities. Children are some of the most vulnerable people and it is our job to help form them into successful, loving, and kind adults. It is my passion and purpose in life to help assist children and youth into growing to their full potential by providing them with different resources and help them grow beneficial life Read more skills. I look forward to talking with you!
