Chloe $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Chloe! I’ve always had a passion for helping kids grow, learn, and have fun. This Previous summer I worked at a summer camp where I was in charge of 14 to 16 girls in this position I ran in facilitated activities, provided first aid, solved conflict in the cabin, created meaningful connections with campers, ran craft time, maintained the cleanliness of Camp, and stayed on a schedule. I received honor staff for going above and beyond and creating meaningful relationships with campers and creating environment where everyone felt like they belonged. During school, I have taken health science and child development. And these classes I received certification in OSHA, first aid, CPR, stop the bleed, and I am a BLS lifesaver. A few words I would use to describe me are caring, patient, outgoing, responsible, and fun. I want a family who will communicate with me so we can be on the same page to have the best experience possible. The most amount of kids that I would prefer to work with is three, but I’m always willing to work with parents. I have reliable transportation, I don’t smoke, and I’m comfortable with pets. I’m really excited to have the opportunity to work with your family. Please don’t hesitate if you have any questions or if you want to get to know me a little bit more!
