Kaitlyn Rochelle Dever was born in Phoenix, Arizona, on December 21, 1996. Her father also briefly ventured into acting, most notably voicing Barney the Dinosaur on the PBS children's show Barney & Friends for a short time. She has two younger sisters. When she was five years old, she developed an interest in the performing arts and her parents subsequently enrolled her in an acting school. She also participated in ballet, gymnastics, and ice skating, but seeing Toni Collette's performance in The Sixth Sense (1999) inspired her to focus on acting. Her family moved to Dallas, where she filmed a number of commercials, then settled in Los Angeles.
