I’m a caring and dependable group sitter with a lifetime of hands-on experience. As a mother of five and grandmother of five, I understand the importance of patience, safety, and creating a warm, engaging environment for children of all ages. I’ve also provided in-home care for a family member with special needs, which has strengthened my attentiveness and compassion. Families can trust me to provide reliable, nurturing care while ensuring every child feels seen, supported, and comfortable.

Hi, I'm Chloe! I’m a second-year student at University of Virginia originally from the Richmond, Virginia area, and I’ve spent the past two years babysitting for families with children ages 4 and up. I love working with kids and creating a fun, positive environment through outdoor activities, arts and crafts, reading, and creative play. In addition to babysitting, I’ve volunteered as a tutor throughout high school and college, working with children of many different ages and learning styles. For the past two summers, I served as a camp counselor at Collegiate School Summer Quest, where I led camps for students from the lower school through middle school. I’m patient, empathetic, dependable, and energetic, and I truly enjoy helping kids feel comfortable, engaged, and supported.
