A little bit about me

Hello! I'm Olivia, and I'm thrilled to introduce myself as a nanny with a unique blend of passion and experience that I'm eager to bring to your family.

My journey in childcare has been guided by a love for children and a passion for fostering their creativity. My background as a Registered Behavioral Technician has equipped me with invaluable skills and a deep understanding of children's development.

I've honed my childcare skills during my tenure as a Medical Assistant for a renowned pediatric dermatologist in the heart of New York City.

My strong medical background is complemented by a variety of certifications, including CPR, BLS, CNA, and RBT, ensuring your child's safety and well-being.

During my free time I enjoy painting, playing bass guitar, and hiking outside with my pup. I recently moved from Denver, Colorado, and I'm excited to start my journey here in San Diego.

A little bit about me

Hello there! My name is alexa. I am currently a college student in hopes of becoming a nurse or future therapist (as my love in caregiving/comprehension of the human brain is of my greatest interests.)

I know spanish so if that is an interest for your child to learn, I would be more than happy to apply my knowledge. I also played water polo and swim my entire life so I could give the kiddos swimming lessons and all things aquatics! I am very active so I would definitely be sure to keep your kiddos busy, playing sports, going on walks, or I could even teach them the piano.

I adore animals and have experience with raising a dog and cat. I have have two cats at home who are super friendly; I would love to introduce them to the kids if they have love for animals! I am also very willing to care for any animals, my tenderness for them is ever so high!

I am willing to accommodate your family in any degree requested. I am here to learn and grow with a family! Let me know how I can help :)
