Hi there! My name is Chloe, and I would love to help you and your family. I have a passion for working with children and helping parents be the most present and happy as they can be in the times that matter most. A child's imagination is the most precious, sacred thing in my eyes, and I take fostering that imagination as my own personal mission. I've been working with kids ever since I could remember, as the daughter of a dance teacher and therefore unofficial assistant instructor. In high school, I worked as a party princess, solidifying my passion for working with children with the added benefit of knowing every word to every princess song ever. With a solid arsenal of artistic skills in nearly all mediums, I love to plan arts activities with kids abilities and interests in mind that leave them feeling empowered and competent. I also love taking children out on excursions led by what sparks their curiosity. My M.O. is to instill a love for learning, inner confidence, and resilient spirit that stays with children for life. For me, that starts with making sure they feel seen, supported, and respected. Outside of childcare, I am also a multidisciplinary artist, working with photography, performance, comedy, writing, music, sculpture, and anything I can get my hands on, really. I just graduated from DePaul in Chicago, earning a 3.96 GPA while PT nannying and managing freelance photography gigs. I'm currently available for families within the city as well as in Bergen County, Fairfield County, Rockland County Westchester County, and Hudson County.
“Chloe was our nanny for two years, beginning when our children were 1 and 3, and she was truly exceptional. At the time, we lived in downtown Chicago, I traveled frequently for work, and my wife worked 12-hour nursing shifts while also attending school. We needed someone we could completely rely on—someone trustworthy, responsible, professional, and, just as importantly, someone our kids would adore and have fun with. Chloe checked every one of those boxes. She was incredibly reliable and proactive. She even helped introduce us to trusted babysitters and backup caregivers so we would always have support if an emergency came up. That level of thoughtfulness and dependability meant a great deal to our family. Most importantly, Chloe was amazing with our kids. She was extremely engaged with them—dressing up, planning fun activities, playing, laughing, and always finding ways to keep them entertained and smiling. She transported them to school, prepared meals, handled bath time, helped keep our home in order, and even helped care for both of our pets throughout the day. Chloe was also an excellent communicator, which was especially important given our demanding and sometimes unpredictable schedules. With me frequently out of town and my wife balancing 12-hour nursing shifts and school, I genuinely don't know how we would have done it without her. Our experience with Chloe was exceptional, and we valued the time she spent with our family tremendously. Our children still ask about her today, which probably says more than anything else could. I would recommend Chloe without hesitation to anyone looking for a nanny, babysitter, or caregiver. Any family would be fortunate to have her. I am also more than happy to speak directly with anyone considering Chloe and provide my full endorsement.”
Hi! I’m Georgia, a graduate student at Columbia university. I’m offering child and pet care services. I have been professionally babysitting for ten years, but as the second oldest of six children, I have been caring for kids my entire life. My experience ranges from picking up children from school, supervising outdoor activities and outings, preparing meals, putting to bed, and occasionally overnight stays (the longest being one week). I also have many years of experience as a summer camp counselor and a children’s surf camp head counselor. Im comfortable taking care of kids of any age, however I have the most experience from ages 2 and up. I’m patient, energetic, and love keeping kids active and engaged, while also being comfortable setting clear boundaries and expectations when needed. I love any and all animals (except spiders) and would be more than willing to work with families with pets.
“Georgia is fabulous. She cared for our daughters (now 5 and 7) on multiple occasions and we trust her completely. She is professional, reliable and loved to play and create with our girls! We wish she still lived near us (we are in California) and we miss her!”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
