A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Chloe! I’m 18 years old and a high school graduate with some college credits. While I don’t have formal, documented experience, I’ve spent many years caring for my younger family members and have always loved being around kids. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive, and I strive to create a safe, calm, and positive environment. I’m happy to help with homework, follow established routines, assist with meals, and keep kids engaged with age-appropriate activities. I am Heartsaver First Aid CPR AED certified through the American Heart Association, and safety is always a top priority for me. I’m very flexible and more than willing to work around your family’s needs. I’d love the opportunity to help care for your little one(s)!
