Hi, I'm Chloe, I'm 19 years old and looking for work as a nanny in Boston. While I've only had one experience as a nanny I really loved it, unfortunately I had to move and was unable to continue working with that family. But I would love to find a new family to work with. I'm happy to clean and meal prep if needed, and love coming up with activities. I'm an artist so if you're looking to add some creativity to your child's care I might be the right person for you! I don't drive, but transportation is no problem, I frequently use the T and have no problem getting to you. If you have any questions please feel free to message me!
