A little bit about me

I Hi! My name is Olivia, and I am a Pre-Law student at the University of Central Florida with several years of childcare experience. I have worked with children of all ages, from toddlers to teenagers, through foster care summer camps, private childcare, and nannying positions. Throughout these experiences, I have worked with children from a variety of backgrounds, including those with behavioral challenges, sensory sensitivities, and unique emotional needs.

Beyond childcare, I have developed strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills through my involvement in student government, volunteer work, and campus organizations. Families describe me as patient, dependable, and attentive. I believe every child deserves to feel safe, encouraged, and understood, and I strive to create a positive environment where they can learn, grow, and have fun.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. For the past nine years, I have provided babysitting and childcare services for families, helping with daily routines, homework, activities, meal preparation, and creating a safe and engaging environment. I also volunteered during summers at A Kid’s Place, a foster care center for children ages 0–14, where I worked with children from a variety of backgrounds, including those with emotional and behavioral challenges. These experiences have taught me patience, adaptability, and the importance of providing a supportive and nurturing environment for every child.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy keeping children active, creative, and engaged. Some of my favorite activities include arts and crafts, swimming, playing outside, sports, board games, Hot Wheels, Barbies, reading, and coming up with imaginative games. I’m also happy to adjust activities based on each child’s age, personality, and comfort level.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is creating a safe, loving, and positive environment where children feel cared for and understood. I want every child I work with to feel happy, supported, and comfortable being themselves.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience working with children who have ADHD, ADD, emotional regulation challenges, and behavioral difficulties. Through my work at A Kid’s Place and years of babysitting and nannying, I have learned how to remain patient, calm, and supportive in high-stress situations. I understand the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and adapting to each child’s individual needs to help them feel safe, understood, and successful.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny moments is doing little science experiments and seeing the look on a child’s face when they realize they made that happen. I love watching kids get excited, ask a million questions, and become proud of themselves when they learn something new.
