A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Olivia, and I’m a passionate and experienced caregiver with a strong background in early childhood education. I currently work as a Lead Toddler Teacher at Caterpillar Care, where I create engaging and sensory-based activities to promote the developmental growth of young children. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Apparel and Textile Design from Michigan State University, where I also studied child development, curriculum design, and diverse learning perspectives. With hands-on experience in Montessori and toddler education, I’m dedicated to fostering a nurturing environment where children can grow emotionally, socially, and academically. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I am committed to providing a safe, fun, and educational experience for the children I care for.
