I enjoy outdoor activities, arts and crafts and cooking! I am pet friendly as well. I do not have my own vehicle but I am licensed to drive. I am open to be a full time nanny or even provide part time after school care.

A little bit about me
Hello, my name is Olivia Stone. I am currently twenty two years old and a rising senior at the University of Delaware. I am a licensed EMT in the state of Massachusetts. I have the highest level of CPR certification. I am very fortunate and grateful to be COVID-19 fully vaccinated so that I can continue to work in the community. My dream job that I am working towards in college, is to be a nurse practitioner specialized in pediatrics. I have always connected well with children. I am a kind, energetic, and responsible person. I was a camp counselor four summers in a row, responsible for ages 4-12. The last summer before college I was the camp director. This was an amazing job, because I was in charge of coming up with the daily activity schedule for children to follow including swimming lessons at the local pool, science experiments, sports, and reading time. I enjoyed this responsibility as I was able to make kids feel safe while also making sure they had the best summer possible.

Hi there! I've been a babysitter for over 6 years now and have loved every opportunity I've been able to spend time as a babysitter/nanny. I am currently a physical therapist but really missing my life as a nanny!
I'm flexible and willing to work with any schedule. I also have a car, I'm great with food prep, I love spending time outdoors, and love pets. I'd love to chat further over any questions you may have for me and get more details about specific job requirements, child needs, hours, etc.:)
Please don't hesitate to reach out!
Thanks so much,
Colleen O.

A little bit about me
I am a 29-year-old international student from Chile, fluent in both English and Spanish, currently seeking a part-time nanny position where I can provide reliable and nurturing care. I bring over 10 years of hands-on experience working with children of different ages, and I genuinely enjoy supporting their growth in a safe, positive, and engaging environment. I am skilled in meal planning and preparation, and I am happy to help with light household tasks such as tidying up, organizing, and cooking.
I have a natural ability to connect with both children and teenagers, creating a warm and trusting relationship while maintaining structure and responsibility. Thanks to my strong academic background in math and science, I can also assist with homework and encourage good study habits. I am responsible, patient, and adaptable, and I always strive to support each child’s individual needs and routines. I hold a valid driver’s license (though I do not currently have my own car).
