A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Olivia and I am seeking work as a nanny! I am currently working at Children's Hospital on a contingent schedule which means I have a lot of free time. After graduation, I completed my first year of school, studying pre-nursing, alongside taking and completing state tested patient care courses. I am also CPR and BLS certified for adults and infants. I am a very reliable, patient, dependable, and creative person who enjoys caring for others. I am also full of energy and enjoy doing activities with little ones. I am currently working with a family of four and we enjoy going to the park, pool, and playing lots of games! This year I will work on and complete my childcare administration certificate and will have 15 credit hours of experience with me. With all of my skills and experience, I will be able to provide a safe and enjoyable learning environment for your little ones!
