A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Chloe and I have been providing childcare for over 8 years, and have specialized in infant care for the past 6 years. I graduated from the University of Rhode Island, and I now live in Ithaca, NY. I have cared for newborns as young as 1-week-old and can provide excellent references and a detailed resume. I use a "whole family" approach in my work, emphasizing the importance of fulfilling the needs of both children and parents by helping with housekeeping, taking care of family pets, or grocery shopping when children are being watched by their parents. I have found childcare to be one of the most rewarding jobs a person can be involved in. I take my responsibility as a caregiver very seriously, and I am grateful to be able to provide joy and ease to the lives of so many families through this work.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I co-directed a performance at a Montessori school with around 40 students ages 7-9. My codirector and I were solely responsible for all of these children, some of whom had learning or physical disabilities. We helped them understand Shakespeare, build a set and make costumes! It was a very challenging and rewarding experience.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Because most of my work is with infants, I spend a lot of my time holding them and soothing them to sleep. I particularly enjoy baby-wearing as a method of connecting and calming them, singing to the babies, and helping them build their strength through tummy time. For the older children, I love making arts and crafts with them, reading to them, and teaching them how to understand their emotions and express themselves. When the weather permits, I also love to take walks with the kids I nanny and play in parks or on playgrounds.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is truly understanding the responsibility of the job. Knowing how important you are to the children you work with and how much of an impact you can have on them is very important. Knowing that I’ve been able to have a positive impact on so many kids is really meaningful to me and I cherish that responsibility. I also think it is crucial to work with parents as a team to provide the best possible care for their children, and to always remember that parents know what is best for their kids, and my job is to help them balance their lives between work, family, and personal life.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment was when I witnessed a baby girl (5 months old) laugh for the first time. The pure joy and happiness that she was feeling in that moment was very special and I feel so lucky to have seen such a big milestone for her!
