I’m an RBT with 3 years of experience working with children with ASD, where I've developed a strong foundation in patience, empathy, and creating supportive environments. I love the field so much I am actively pursuing a Masters degree in Applied Behavior Analysis from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. In addition to my therapeutic work, I've coached kids ages 3-15 in T-ball, baseball, softball, and soccer, and I played softball myself for 13 years, which has taught me teamwork, discipline, and how to motivate others. I'm CPR certified, and as a proud pet owner of three dogs, I’m experienced in caring for animals as well. I’m passionate about working with kids, whether it’s providing therapy, coaching, or simply making sure they feel safe, engaged, and happy. My compassionate, patient, and reliable nature allows me to build trust with families and create positive experiences for every child I work with.
I am a college student majoring in Elementary education. My work experience includes daycare teacher for the past year and a half, specifically a MD state certified Toddler teacher. Prior to work, my experience has been babysitting my families and friends’ families children! A few traits about me is that I have grown up to love teaching, and working with children. I love music, bright colors, and turtles. My dream career has always been becoming a teacher. I have always enjoyed seeing the smiles from children when they’re having fun, or excited to learn. I will always make the environment safe so all children can feel welcomed and seen.
Hi! I'm Olivia. I'm offering child care, senior care, and household help. Being an older sister, I've naturally taken on a caretaking role. Growing up, my sister and I played "school," where I was always the teacher. It was a little glimpse into how much I love helping kids learn and grow. At 16, I became a summer camp counselor for kids ages 6-13, and through college I babysat two children for a family friend. I've also volunteered in a kindergarten classroom teaching an "Hour of Code." My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, activities, and appointments, plus cooking meals and snacks. What I love most is the whimsy, curiosity, and joy of children. I bring patience, responsibility, and lots of warmth to every family. During college, I also worked in a nursing home, where I helped direct activities and built warm connections with the seniors. I'm comfortable with senior care and happy to cook or drive to appointments. I truly value being someone parents can trust and families feel safe with.

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
