A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Olivia! I’m a warm, patient, and reliable childcare provider of 2 years currently based in Buffalo, NY, looking for a full-time Nanny position in the NYC area starting this Fall.

My daycare experience is with children from 2 months to 5 years, including but not limited to providing sensory, educational, and creative activities, potty training, changing diapers, preparing meals and doing light laundry.

I’ve loved working at the daycare but I always wish I could give the kids more individualized attention as I love to teach them and celebrate their milestones while providing a safe space and empathetic ear.
