Chloé $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Brighton, MA
Hi! I’m Chloé and I am an engineering student at Northeastern University. I have around 9 years of paid experience babysitting of ages 3 months to 15 years old, and have taken care of up to five kids at once. Outside of babysitting, I have worked as a coach, camp counselor, Head Youth Coach, and Youth Programs Director, so I have a lot of experience in finding fun things for kids to do! I am First Aid/CPR/AED certified for infants, children, and adults. I love cooking, so if you need some help with meal prepping, I would love to bring some creative recipes to your household! I also am a native French speaker and have a B2 level in Spanish, so I thrive in multilingual households. I’m happy to help with homework, cleaning up around the house, laundry, and more! Thanks for reading! Reach out if I seem like a good fit for your family.

I can also support/assist with personal/virtual administrative assistance. I am a full-time Operations Manager! Have a question or proposal? Ask away.
