Experience: 10 yrs
I am a recent graduate of Fort Lewis College with a passion for teaching and caring for children. I have over 15 years of personal experience caring for a younger brother and many nieces and nephews in addition to 6 years of professional experience working with children of all ages. My professional experience includes three separate part-time nanny positions. I have also provided care for many families during date nights, kid-free errands, doctor. appointments, etc. I have worked over 1, 500 hours in state-licensed childcare facilities including an early childcare center and two before-and-after school programs at elementary schools. I have also spent over 1, 000 hours in early childhood classrooms while completing my bachelor's degree. My career goal is to become an early childhood educator while my ultimate goal in life is to become a mother. I would love the opportunity to provide your children with all the love, compassion, and fun they deserve while in my care!
We hired Olivia 5 days a week, M-F, while my husband and I worked. Olivia is currently 1/2 through her degree in early childhood education and has worked in various childcare settings. Olivia is, by far, the best professional caregiver we've ever had. She attended to my children's every needs. She interacted and played with my 6-yr old ALL DAY. She took such good care of my 1-yr-old as well. If he was upset when I went to work in the AM, she was able to easily distract him and he never cried for more than 5 min- I know because I work from home so I could hear. Olivia fed my kids, took them biking, to the playground, to story time, to the museum, and to other fun places in town. She has also babysat for us at night, easily putting both kids to bed. Because of her love of children, experience working in homes, education in early child ed, as well as teaching in various early childhood classrooms, she is the absolute IDEAL childcare provider. I would never call her JUST a babysitter :))
