About Olivia

I've always had a passion for nurturing the growth and development of children. My interest in childcare stems from my desire to make a positive impact on their lives and support families in need of reliable childcare. I have never been paid to care for children except for an occasional babysitting job. I cared for my younger brothers at an early age, was a single mom with no family support, was a live in nanny to two of my grandsons who are now in college. The past 6 years I have been teaching swimming to parents with babies through adults some fearful of the water. I have CPR and emergency care training. I believe with all my experience I can create a safe and nurturing environment for children of all ages. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules and communicating with parents about their child's day using their preferred method of communication. Aside from this I am a retired Department of Interior Employee having worked in Alaska, Washington DC and Virginia.
