Booked by 1 family in Lockhart, TX

Hi, I’m Olga, go by Camila, 27. Born in Mexico then raised in Texas. I am the youngest of 4 and my older siblings started having kids when I was 12 yrs old, so I’ve been on babysitting duties since then. I have 5 nephews and 2 nieces. My oldest nephew is now 15 and I have been their part time nanny all through out. I have a child like spirit and love to play with and nurture children. I am currently in the job market and have started picking up babysitting shifts in NYC in the meantime. I’m a natural at taking care of kids, I understand their needs, but most importantly how parents want me to care for their little ones. I’m great with bed time routines, naps, activities, etc. I also help out with household needs, cooking, cleaning, errands, etc. I’m also great at maintaining a clean space. Jack of all trades, really whatever you need help with I can jump right in! I’d love to connect and help out! 😊

“Olga is such a natural caregiver. She is so good at making up fun activities for my kids. They love spending time with her! Every time she watches them they are come back exhausted but full of joy. I highly highly recommend Olga for all your child care needs. So grateful to have someone as reliable and natural as her! ”

Sviatlana $25 per hour for 1 child

My first job in high school was at Kumon, where I tutored children one-on-one. I was exception at that job, and was assigned to work with children with disabilities. I babysat three different families in high school, all with multiple children. I went to Temple University where I studied Economics, studied abroad in Tokyo Japan, was President of Art Club, and took on an internship at the Municipality of Cuenca in Cuenca, Ecuador. I now work as a Consultant and am looking to spend my free time more wisely, and make some extra money. I am a daughter to an Art Teacher and have always been passionate about painting, sculpting, and being expressive. I prefer to spend time off screen, playing a board game, reading, being outside. I am very easy going and can get along with many different people. I have a lot of energy and genuinely feel happy to be helpful to others. I speak Russian and have experience helping my family members with administrative tasks due to a language barrier. I am empathetic to other people that struggle with certain things, or might need extra help to get something done. Someone would describe me as a friendly, positive, helpful, empathetic, nature-loving person.

I am currently pursuing a degree in Psychology, with an eventual goal of specializing in Child Psychology. As the oldest sibling of three, I have personally worked with children for many years, and have worked in this field professionally for the last three years. My background focuses on children from 7 months to 11 years of age, and I am particularly skilled with toddlers, as I was an assistant teacher in daycares and provided care for one family's toddler for over a year.
