Chloe 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi Families!! My name is Chloe I am 23 years old and I am looking to be your sitter. I have been babysitting for over 10 years with experience in ages ranging from 2-14! I’ve also spent four years as a lead camp counselor, where I was responsible for supervising groups, planning activities, and creating a fun, safe, and inclusive environment. Whether it’s keeping toddlers engaged, helping with homework, or organizing creative activities, I aim to make every child feel supported and cared for. In addition to childcare, I also offer cat sitting, pet sitting, and help with general household chores. Families describe me as dependable, attentive, and proactive—I always try to anticipate needs and make parents’ lives a little easier. I take pride in being someone families can truly trust and rely on.

“Chloe is very reliable, professional, and capable. She has frequently watched my three kids, and the kids always have a blast. She is very conscientious and keeps the kids occupied. She has also done chores for me around the house, and I have been quite pleased with her work. Highly recommend.”

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
