Hi! I'm Olivia! I'm 18, turning 19 in a few weeks, and I've always had a big heart for caring for others. Growing up as one of six kids, I've pretty much always been surrounded by little personalities, big imaginations, and lots of family time! I've also gained nanny experience, which has made me love working with children even more.
CHILDCARE I've had experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns and infants to toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children. I love getting to know each child's unique personality and finding fun ways to keep them entertained, learning, and exploring. Some of my favorite activities include crafts, coloring, outdoor adventures, pretend play, reading stories, and other hands-on activities. I'm a big believer in encouraging creativity and imagination rather than relying on screens all day. I'm patient, nurturing, attentive, and love creating an environment where children feel safe, comfortable, and free to be themselves.
CERTIFICATIONS I'm First Aid, CPR, and AED certified. Children's safety is always a priority, and I want parents to feel comfortable and confident knowing their little ones are in good hands.
PET CARE I'm a HUGE animal lover! Throughout my life, I've had experience with dogs, cats, ferrets, fish, birds, turtles, bunnies, hamsters, snakes, and bearded dragons. I'm comfortable caring for different types of animals and am happy to help with feeding, walking, cleaning up, playtime, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs.
HOUSEHOLD HELP I'm happy to lend an extra hand around the house! I can help with dishes, laundry, organizing, tidying, vacuuming, mopping, bathroom and kitchen cleaning, and other household tasks. I'm also comfortable with deeper cleaning and keeping a home fresh and organized. When I'm hired for childcare, though, my main focus will always be the children. I'd rather give them my full attention than try to take on deep-cleaning tasks at the same time. I'm also comfortable preparing meals and snacks, helping with meal prep, and baking.
Overall, I love lending a helping hand and know how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home to care for the people and pets you love. I'd love to become someone your family can count on, whether you need an extra set of hands, someone to love on your pets, or a caring person to look after your little ones. I can't wait to meet you! :)
