About Olivia
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I have always been passionate about working with children. I have cared for twins, children with special needs, &as many as 3 siblings at a time. My experience includes children age 0-14, with my focus and passion being with pre-school age infants and toddlers. I have my bachelors in Counseling and Child Studies. With a focus on expressive art therapy in school, I bring a lot of creative art and movement-based fun to my work. I am CPR and First Aid certified (renewed spring 2024). I have a car, clean record and numerous references. More about me personally: I am attentive, creative, flexible, and reliable. I love to be silly and am not afraid to get messy. I believe that children learn best through play and immersive discovery and I try to encourage hands-on learning at all times. Though I can be silly, I believe that children thrive with gentle guidance and structure that changes as their developmental needs change.

Olivia is a rare gem - a professional, exceptionally skilled nanny who offers the full package of creativity, warmth, energy, and perfect punctuality. We were lucky to find her. Olivia is deeply knowledgeable about child development and constantly devises creative activities for the children she watches (for example, she once occupied our 4 year old for an afternoon using a squirt bottle to unveil a hidden message on a paper towel.) She is highly energetic - she never, ever turned on electronics while with our children, instead taking the kids on two-mile walks to the library and train station, enrolling in swim class with our youngest, and planning excursions to the zoo and to parks. She is warm and loving, able to really listen and see kids for who they are. And she is incredibly reliable: in nearly two years of nannying for our family, she was never late once. We know that Olivia is a special find and even postponed our daycare plans because we didn’t want to let her go. We are confident she would bring these skills to any family!
