But despite her confident and flirtatious exterior, and her need for attention, she has a soft sensitive side too. Chloe grew up in the inner city, with her parents, who were also foster parents, to a number of children at a time, so she was used to many faces, which is where Chloe probably learned to be so chatty and friendly towards people. So it’s no wonder Chloe decided to become a nurse – she loves people and has a very caring attitude.
