Hi, I'm Olivia! I'm 24, CPR and First Aid certified, and have years of experience working with children. I moved to Peoria in 2022 after graduating from ISU and have been teaching K-8 special education in local public schools since then. I'm now looking to provide more personalized care. With a background in daycare and preschool settings since 2016. I'm comfortable working with all ages. For right now I am looking to provide care for infants through kindergarten age, including children with disabilities. I'm dedicated, patient, and passionate about supporting each child's unique needs.
Olivia was incredible with our infant! We reached out to her about filling in last minute all-day gaps in care for our 4mo. She was prompt in response, available to meet, and better than we could have imagined. She’s been right on time every day, which seems to be a rare thing nowadays!! More importantly, our child was constantly happy with her. Where he usually cries intermittently (as babies do), my husband, who works from home, kept noting in amazement that he never cried when she was there. She was so sweet with him, and we’ve found that a way to get him to smile is to say that ‘Olivia is coming’! We look forward to Olivia babysitting for date nights and work events in the future as we would be sad to lose her from our lives.
