A little bit about me

My name is Chloe, and I am a junior at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, majoring in kinesiology. I have a passion for working with children and have gained extensive experience through both babysitting and being a special needs camp counselor.

Growing up vacationing on Nantucket, I am familiar with the island's natural beauty and unique culture. My love for the outdoors and staying active make Nantucket an ideal place for me to work and grow as a caregiver.

My experience in child care has taught me patience, creativity, and flexibility, and I am dedicated to providing a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children in my care.

I believe my reliability, selflessness, and friendly nature make me a good fit for nanny and baby-sitting positions. I am confident that I can provide the level of care and attention that parents expect when entrusting their children to a caregiver.
