A little bit about me

Hi I'm Livi!
I’m 27 years old and have been babysitting since I was 12—it’s always been second nature to me. I grew up with a twin brother who has special needs, which taught me patience, empathy, and how to adapt quickly. Since then, I’ve cared for all kinds of kiddos: infants, twins, children with autism and Down syndrome, and little ones with food allergies or special routines.

Before spending the last 5 years working as a fine dining chef, I worked at a daycare where I got to know kids of all ages—and I loved every minute of it. I’m also an animal lover through and through. I have my 2-year-old cat, Margot, and I’m comfortable around animals of all kinds.

I’m calm in a crisis, creative during playtime, and always happy to help however I can. Whether it’s coming up with exciting games, prepping allergy-safe meals, or just being a reliable, nurturing presence, I’m here to make your life a little easier and your kids’ days a lot more fun!
