Recent reference

"Chloe was an amazing nanny for our family. She was always responsible, dependable, and on time, but also so much fun with the kids. She kept them entertained with activities, games, and creative play, and they absolutely adored her. Even now, the kids still rave about how much they loved spending time with Chloe. She has a wonderful way of connecting with children while still maintaining structure and responsibility. I would highly recommend her to any family looking for someone caring, trustworthy, and engaging. We still use Chloe for babysitting needs!"

A little bit about me

I am a freshman at the University of South Carolina seeking a summer nanny position in Charleston, ideally in a live-in role. I am originally from Richmond, Virginia, and have family in the Charleston area.

I have several years of hands-on childcare experience with children ranging from 8 weeks to 11 years old. During my junior and senior years of high school, I worked at a childcare facility where I built a strong foundation in safety, organization, and age-appropriate care. I also nannied for a family with an infant throughout my senior year and continue to support them during school breaks, a relationship I greatly value.

Additionally, I cared for a 3- and 6-year-old over the summer, managing daily routines, driving them to camps, and planning engaging activities such as pool days, games, and outdoor play. I regularly babysit for multiple families and genuinely enjoy becoming a trusted and consistent presence in children’s lives.
