Olivia 1 review
$32 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Olivia, I'm 24 years old, and I am a nurturing, compassionate, and grounding caregiver with many years of experience in caring for people ages 18mo - 22yrs. After two years at a University as a Developmental Psychology major, I decided to pursue a career in mental health care. I work with both neurotypical and neurodivergent children and adults, and I quickly adapt to each person's needs as I get to know them better. I love engaging and playing with children in fun and educational ways, and aiding in the growth of children and adults with different neurological, sensory, and developmental needs. I have a lot of patience, respect, and imagination, and I love to encourage imaginative play! I find it most rewarding when children are positively impacted by their community, and when they show progress in their natural environments! I have worked in schools with all different variations of special education and programs, and I take nanny jobs during the summers and holidays. Though I work in schools, I am open to being a full-time nanny for the right family, and I'm always open to one-time gigs! I would love to meet you and your family and see if we're a good match!

So patient and accommodating, our two little ones would not stop raving about how much fun they had with Ms Olivia!

Hello families, My name is Jovana, and I am a caring, responsible, and patient nanny with a background in healthcare. I truly enjoy working with children and creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment where they can learn, grow, and feel supported. I am attentive to children’s needs, reliable, and understand the importance of communication and trust when caring for your little ones. I have experience supporting families with daily routines, meal preparation, light housekeeping related to the children, and engaging activities that encourage learning and creativity. My healthcare experience has also helped me stay calm in stressful situations and prioritize safety at all times. I am currently looking for a family where I can provide dependable and loving care, and become a positive part of your child’s daily life. I look forward to connecting and seeing how I can support your family’s needs.

I love Jesus . I like to babysit or give care to elderly people or people with difficulties, I like to go to movies, pick up drop off from school and hang out with my nephews and nieces whenever. I am cpr/first aid certified, also med administration certified. I have been a Lyft and Uber for over 8 years.

Kali was so friendly and our son thought she was nice too! She’s been a big help and we look forward to booking her in the future.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
