Olivia K.|Lancaster, PA

$15-15/hr • 3 yrs exp • 26 yrs old

Part-time Caregiver/Babysitter

Responds within 4 hours

Hello, I'm Olivia & I'm 26 years old! I'm fluently bilingual with French being my 1st language and English my 2nd. I went to UT Austin for an English program, started my community college year at ACC, later transferred to HCC in the fall of 2015 and I'm since pursuing a major in International Relations and Communication. I come from a large family of 6 which I'm in the 2nd position and the 1st girl, growing up my parents were constantly traveling due to work, so more than often I had to be the big sister and sometimes take on the mommy figure for my 3 younger sisters and 1 little brother. I love children and I'm very interested in a child's education and well being which I promise to make yours as my priority! I love reading and writing, in addition I'm very great at cooking and would be willing to do some house cleaning too if needed. I'm always open to learn new things, living in a country I try to make the most of my experience, hopefully we'll learn from each other!

Olivia was such a great caregiver for our kids! She was highly capable, fun, and knowledgeable with both our 4 month old and 2.5 year old. She took our toddler to the North Museum, the playground, and out for fun activities. Olivia was also flexible when we sometimes needed to change the day or time for babysitting and was always easy to get in touch with. She also sent photos during the day so we could enjoy seeing what the kids were up to. We highly recommend her.

Experienced Nanny/Babysitter

Hi Parents! I love being around children and make them happy when they are under my care. I worked at a retail store during the day, so I am available after 5 p.m. during the week, Saturday's and Sundays as well. Overall, I have experience caring for multiple children (twins), all ages, and children with special needs. I am a happy, loving, respectful and responsible nanny/babysitter looking for two part time jobs or a full time job with some flexibility . I am CPR and FIRST AID Certified. I have had various responsibilities as a sitter that include meal preparation, diaper changing, potty training, homework help, reading, crafts, as well as picking and dropping kids off school. I guarantee that your child(ren) would tell you that he/she had a good time with me at the end of the day. If they are babies, they will laugh and come to me when they see me at the door next time. Feel free to read parents comments please! Look forward to hearing from you! Mimi

Mary Lou A.|Lancaster, PA

$15-25/hr • 10 yrs exp • 60 yrs old

Active And Engaging Babysitter/Nanny

Responds within a day

I have an 8-year-old grandson, H. I left my job when he was 2 years old to take care of him full-time as he was always getting sick at daycare. I was responsible for transporting him to and from preschool, so I am well versed in preschool/elementary school preparations. I worked as a classroom assistant to a Kindergarten teacher, which has given me an insight into various educational activities. I enjoy the daily life in a busy household, caring for children, pets, household duties. My favorite part of the day would be a time to read aloud to my grandson, where we sit together and enjoy the adventures in a chosen book. As I currently get my grandson before & after school, I'm available for date nights and/or weekend babysitting, or daytime 10-3.

Fun & Responsible Caregiver

Responds within a day

Hi there, I am a CPR & First Aid Certified, experienced caregiver. I spent three years as a full time nanny for two children. One of them had special needs. I absolutely loved being a nanny. My favorite part was watching them learn through creative methods. We loved spending days at the library, going on outdoor adventures and getting creative with arts and crafts. It was one of the highlights of my life. Since then, I went on to become a full time flight attendant with American Airlines for four years where I received extensive medical emergency training. That training is a great tool in my back pocket in case of an unlikely emergency. I am a very responsible and careful driver if transportation is needed and am happy to provide care out of either your home, or for a lower rate out of my beautiful, child-friendly home in Lancaster. :)
