CPR & First Aid Certified Student Babysitter and Cat Foster | Reliable, Caring, and Experienced with Kids of All Ages

Hi there! I’m Chloe! I am a high school junior, runner, artist, and animal lover. I’m certified in CPR, AED, and First Aid, and I’m planning to study pre-med in college. I’m the oldest of five, so babysitting is second nature to me. I’ve handled everything from homework help to bedtime routines, and I know how to keep kids engaged with games, crafts, and movie nights. I’m also a proud cat mom of two and a dog mom to one and have fostered cats before, so furry friends are always welcome! I bring the same energy I use on the track team to babysitting and pet sitting: dedication, reliability, and a positive attitude.

I am the oldest of four siblings and regularly babysit them, which has given me strong skills in responsibility, supervision, and childcare. I am also experienced with animals.
