Our Story
Created for families who want more than ordinary childcare while traveling.
Welcome. I’m Chiara Colette, founder of Cloudland Family Care — providing discreet, personalized luxury childcare services for families visiting McLemore Resort, private vacation homes, and residences throughout Rising Fawn and the surrounding mountain communities.
For more than a decade, I have dedicated my career to creating calm, nurturing, and enriching environments where children feel safe, engaged, and genuinely cared for — while parents enjoy complete peace of mind.
My professional experience includes working as a private nanny, preschool educator, infant and toddler teacher, and trusted caregiver for families during significant life transitions, including long-distance relocations and extended travel stays. These experiences taught me the importance of consistency, emotional safety, and individualized care tailored to each child’s unique personality and needs.
I studied Early Childhood Education and Family Studies at Portland Community College, where I built a strong foundation in child development, emotional regulation, and age-appropriate learning practices. Beyond formal education, my approach to childcare is deeply rooted in compassion, patience, and emotional attentiveness.
One of the most meaningful chapters of my career was volunteering with children of single mothers escaping domestic violence situations. Supporting children during vulnerable moments reinforced my belief that exceptional childcare is not simply supervision — it is creating an environment where children feel secure, understood, and emotionally supported.
Today, I bring that same level of professionalism, warmth, and intentional care to every family I work with.
I am CPR certified and experienced caring for children beginning at 2 months of age. Whether families are enjoying a peaceful weekend getaway, attending an event, or simply seeking trusted in-home support, my goal is to provide a seamless, elevated childcare experience that allows both children and parents to fully relax and enjoy their time.
Care Philosophy
Care should feel emotionally safe, calm, and deeply attentive.
Warm Presence
Children should feel comfortable, respected, and supported throughout the care experience.
Calm Environments
Travel and events can feel overwhelming. Care should help create comfort, ease, and balance.
Personal Trust
Families deserve a private childcare experience that feels personal rather than transactional.
Thoughtful Support
Care should fit naturally into the rhythm of the family’s stay, routines, and plans.
Experience & Background
A founder-led experience centered around trust, comfort, and thoughtful support.
My Approach to Childcare
I believe children thrive when they feel safe, understood, and genuinely valued.
My caregiving style is calm, attentive, nurturing, and engaging. I thoughtfully tailor activities to each child’s personality, comfort level, and interests while maintaining healthy structure, consistency, and gentle guidance.
Families often describe me as patient, dependable, communicative, accommodating, and professional — someone who brings both warmth and peace of mind into their home or vacation experience.
Whether a child enjoys imaginative play, outdoor exploration, quiet reading time, or creative activities, I strive to create experiences that feel joyful, enriching, and memorable.
Favorite Activities
- • Reading books together
- • Dance parties and music
- • Arts, crafts, drawing, and coloring
- • Nature walks and outdoor exploration
- • Playground outings
- • Dress-up and imaginative play
- • Dolls and storytelling games
- • Calm bedtime routines
I believe guidance and discipline should always be approached as opportunities for learning and emotional growth. Children naturally test boundaries, and my role is to provide calm structure, consistency, and emotional safety while helping them navigate those moments with confidence and respect.
Most importantly, I believe children feel most secure when their caregiver is fully present — willing to be playful, engaged, encouraging, and genuinely connected during their time together.
Additional Experience
In addition to childcare, I also have professional caregiving experience working with elderly individuals as a CNA in both private home and group care settings. This background strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and ability to provide compassionate support across a wide range of individual needs.
I also have extensive experience caring for animals and deeply value creating calm, nurturing environments for both children and pets alike.
Outside of childcare, I enjoy spending time outdoors on my homestead, caring for animals, and embracing the peaceful rhythm of mountain life.
A Trusted Presence for Your Family
My goal is simple: to provide a seamless, elevated childcare experience that allows parents to fully relax, enjoy their time together, and feel confident their children are receiving attentive, thoughtful, and nurturing care.
I understand the level of trust required when inviting someone to care for your child, and I approach that responsibility with professionalism, warmth, and genuine compassion.
