Hi! My name is Chloe, I am going to be a sophomore at Purdue University and I'm studying Elementary Education. I have been babysitting, working with children in classrooms, and leading children Sunday school since I was in 8th grade. I absolutely love helping out with kids because I love being able to watch them thrive and grow. I have had multiple opportunities throughout the years to babysit for varying aged children in my community, and I have work in classrooms ages K-5! I also worked in a daycare every morning of my senior year, taking care of infants and toddlers! I absolutely love this because children this young are constantly changing and they are so fun. As for some of my skills, I am very flexible and patient. I find it super important to cater to children's needs and do whatever is best for their specific needs. Since I have worked with multiple different ages of children, I definitely understand the significance of caring for children and making sure they feel welcome and comfortable!

Why do you love being a sitter? I love being a sitter because I enjoy working with kids and helping them learn and grow. It’s rewarding to build connections with them, encourage their creativity, and support their development in a safe and fun environment. Every day is different, and I love seeing their personalities shine. What experience do you have? I have experience working at a daycare, where I cared for multiple children of different ages, lesson planned activities, and ensured a safe and nurturing environment. I’ve also babysat twins, which gave me hands-on experience managing the needs of multiple children at once, from feeding and bedtime routines to engaging them in fun and educational activities. What skills and training do you have? Through my daycare experience and babysitting, I’ve developed strong skills in child care, patience, multitasking, and problem-solving. I’m experienced in managing routines, handling conflicts, and keeping kids engaged. I am cpr and first aid certified as well!
