I am 24 years old and I just graduated with my Masters in psychology! I'm vaccinated and very Covid-cautious. I am an energetic and loving caregiver who has worked with kids with ages ranging from 2 months to 16 years old. A major reason I've loved caring for children is being able to incorporate concepts and strategies I've learned in my education to promoting a healthy and safe environment for children to grow and explore. I've cared for children with a range of abilities and support needs. In the past, I cared for a child with Down Syndrome, where I changed his diapers and helped with feeding and bathing him. I've done several overnights as well! Most recently I've been a nanny for a child with autism who is also nonverbal. Learning strategies to communicate and help figure out how to manage his more aggressive tendencies has been challenging, but highly rewarding! Every child is different and I am dedicated to learning what I can do to foster their growth and show them compassion!

    Olivia watched my 12 yo autistic son over the summer of 2022 and she provided the perfect balance of activity, learning, new experiences, and downtime. Always communicative and always on time. I recommend her enthusiastically!
