A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Olivia, and I am a junior at Los Altos High School. I've loved working kids for as long as I can remember and have over four years of babysitting experience with local families. As many of the children I've cared for have grown older, I'm excited to connect with new families. In addition to babysitting, I've helped run summer camps for neighborhood kids with a friend and have previously worked as a camp counselor, where I gained experience leading activities, keeping kids engaged, and creating a safe, positive environment. I am also CPR certified. I am responsible, energetic, and genuinely enjoy making sure Kids feel happy, safe, and supported. I'd love the opportunity to help your family!
