A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Olivia, I am a student studying chemistry. I have lived in Santa Barbara for the past 3 years, but originally from Oregon. I love working with children, being outside and creative. I have worked as a nanny for 5 years, and once as live-in nanny for 6 months in Italy. I am CPR and Wilderness First Responder certified and have worked with kids who have severe allergies. Working with young infants and children is what I have normally done, and really appreciate the connection with children creating a safe, fun, engaging time spent together.
