Meet Kait!

Hello there(:

I wanted to introduce myself to you. My name is Kaitlynd, I’m 27 years old, and I am the cofounder of #Grait - alongside my boyfriend Greg.

So basic stuff… I have a few friends whom I love. I love Jesus. I’m madly in love with my bf Greg. My family rocks. I love giraffes, lakes, walks/hikes, ice cream cake, sunflowers, baking, sitting on the floor, french toast, pasta, and wine (obviously). And I think the most exciting thing about me lately is this new business venture. Unless you count Dungeons and Dragons. Greg and I have been learning to play and honestly, I'm really enjoying it. (no, really I am)

When I’m not browsing Instagram or color-coding content calendars, you’ll find me singing to a small child. Before you freak out, I’m a nanny. I started working with kids when I was 14 and I haven’t been able to tear myself away yet. I’ve been a live-out nanny, live-in nanny, date night sitter, and everything in between. If you follow my personal account, @kaitlynd_92 , you will already have gathered this from all the baby photos I post. On that account, I share information about being a nanny and all the shenanigans that ensue. If you haven’t checked it out yet, I promise the account will make you smile.

Anyway… I spend a lot of time with my family. I’m the oldest of 4 and I’m lucky enough to have parents that have been married for 29years. Thankfully, Greg is a big family person too. Before Corona hit we were seeing family all the time. It’s been weird these past few months being so disconnected, but things are starting to pick back up and that makes me happy!

Music makes me happy too! I’ve been singing for as long as I can remember. When I was in high school I was part of a dance studio where we would perform at local fundraisers and community events. I even got a chance to perform competitively. While my hip hop dancing will leave you in pain, my singing will bring you joy. Or so I’ve been told… Recently, I’ve been singing and poorly playing the guitar at a local rehab and extended care center. It’s been really great to perform again. I feel so lucky for the opportunity.

To really bring this full picture together.. I occasionally have panic attacks and suffer from anxiety. It's so fun! Not. I've shared a couple of times, on my personal account, of my struggles with anxiety. Recently, I have been blessed with the confidence to be open about it. This small change has made a difference in my life. Baby steps are still steps!

Thank you for reading this! I am looking forward to getting to know you(:
