Hello! My name's Olivia and I am a student at Loyola Marymount University, pursuing a career in education, with a passion for cultivating engaging and caring environments for youth! With me, your kids will be in great hands and household tasks will be taken care of. I have a variety of professional and in-home childcare experience including babysitting, dance lessons, swim lessons, summer camps, and ABA. I am also an animal lover with a husky and cat at home. I believe in curiosity-led adventures that allow kids to develop their emotional intelligence and expand their knowledge. This might involve getting active outside, doing science experiments, arts and crafts, and more. I'll work with you to involve as much of your family customs into our day as possible. Additionally, I have the necessary skills and experience to work with kiddos who have sensory challenges, ASD, ADHD, and/or DS. I look forward to working with your family!
