Meet Chloe

• Comfortable with pets

Howdy! I’m Chloé! I hail from Southern Louisiana, and I recently finished college in NYC. I come from a huge extended family, and I have tons of younger cousins. As the oldest grandchild of my grandmother and her siblings, I have, for a long time, had the responsibility of looking after my little cousins and the children of family friends, some as young as 6 months, and setting a good example for them. While some older cousins or siblings would sneer at the pressure, I graciously accept my role. Knowing my little cousins are practically watching my every move, I aspire to be better. I am constantly seeking ways to build and maintain positive relationships with them, even from several states away. I love working with kids because it often doesn’t feel like work. It feels like an experience of constant sharing, in which I’m offering my young adult life Read more lessons to them and, in turn, they allow me into the unfiltered and un-jaded perspective of a kid. My conversations and interactions with children help to keep me light and in good spirits. To me, it is most important to be kind, supportive, attentive, and patient with children. It is important to hear them out, even as they communicate non-verbally, and to affirm their growth, recognizing that growth does not manifest in a set, linear pattern and that each child develops in their own special way.
