A little bit about me

My name is Olivia. I am a student at South Seattle College pursuing a double degree in Chemistry and Anthropology. Currently, I work at the childcare center at my college with children up through preschool age, and I am also a part-time nanny to three older children. I love working with children because of their capacity for creativity and learning! I enjoy teaching and enjoy finding ways to break down complicated ideas in a supportive, affirming, and inspiring manner. In my free time I enjoy the outdoors, and especially bird watching. I work with Seattle Audubon frequently on volunteer projects on my own and coordinating service projects for my college's branch of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society.

I have a driver's license, a clean record, and a lovingly maintained SUV. I posses a number of certifications, including STARS training, a valid TB test, and in the near future, CPR & first aid training (adult and infant).

A little bit about me

I’m a warm, patient, and responsible with a genuine love for working with children. I have experience caring for kids of various ages, school-aged children, and I’m confident in managing daily routines like meals, nap schedules, homework, and engaging activities. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and structured environment where children can learn and feel supported.
I’m also very reliable and organized—I communicate openly with parents, follow household routines, and adapt easily to each family’s needs. I’m passionate about encouraging creativity, outdoor play, and age-appropriate learning. Overall, I aim to be not just a caregiver, but a positive and trustworthy presence in a child’s life.”
