Hi!! My name is Chloe and I am a warm hearted, open minded, and energetic caregiver with over 10 years of childcare experience for children 2months-11 years of age. I am passionate about theatre and artistic expression, and I love to encourage exploration of literature and the arts in the children I care for. I also offer tutoring in English / Reading and transportation services to and from school and extracurricular activities. I have a very flexible schedule and an impeccable driving record as I have never been in an accident or even gotten a ticket in my almost 10 years of driving! Thank you for your consideration :)

Hi! I’m Anni, I’ve been a nanny for 4+ years, I enjoy doing outdoor activities and learning new things. Being a nanny is such a rewarding experience, you get to see the children you nanny for grow and become such independent people, and being able to build a relationship with them and their family is so amazing.
