A little bit about me

Hey there!

I’m Olivia and I’m originally from Springfield, IL, but found myself in Indy for school! I’m 25 years old and currently working on getting my masters in social work from IUPUI. I currently live in the downtown area full time! I’ve been babysitting/nannying for as long as I can remember and absolutely love it! I’ve watched all sorts of children, including kids with special needs, and it’s truly such a joy.

On top of babysitting and nannying for a number of years, I also have three nephews and three nieces from my sisters ranging from 3 months - 9 years so I’m well versed in being the “cool aunt”, but can still implement structure when need be.

I would characterize myself as artsy, bubbly, and overall very optimistic. I’m incredibly patient, adaptable, and flexible. I love arts and crafts, outdoors, any and all Disney movies, and love to be silly.

If I sound like I’d be a good fit for your family, please message me, I’d love to hear from you!

A little bit about me

I’m the mother of two. I have a son who is 29 and a daughter who is 26. My daughter has autism so I have plenty of experience with special needs. I am a registered nurse with a clear expired license, I worked in the emergency department 8 years and in the emergency response department for 15. I quit during my divorce to stay home and focus on the needs of my daughter. She is now in assisted living and I have decided I would like to go back into childcare privately. I have kept my skills by taking care of hospice, elderly and disabled individuals privately since 2019. I have been babysitting off and on for 30 years and have many reputable references. I am divorced and I live alone. I am trustworthy and reliable. My clients always love me and feel safe and happy when they are in my care.

A little bit about me

I love spending time with kids, and I'm really interested in being a nanny for children aged 1 to 9. I've taken care of my nieces and nephews, which taught me a lot about looking after kids. I know how to organize their daily routines, like meals and playtime. My aim is to create a happy and learning environment where kids can grow and have fun. I want to help them become independent and teach them good things.
