A little bit about me
I have over four years of childcare experience working with children from 11 months to 12+ years old, and I genuinely enjoy creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. I focus on building strong, meaningful connections by meeting children where they are and engaging them through games, crafts, reading, and creative play based on their individual interests. In addition to babysitting and nannying, I serve as a Sunday school teacher at my church, where I manage classrooms, plan structured activities, and foster a positive, respectful environment. I am patient, attentive, and reliable, and I’m happy to assist with meal prep and light childcare-related cleaning to help keep daily routines running smoothly. Families can trust that I treat every child with care, respect, and enthusiasm.

A little bit about me
I worked as a daycare assistant and helper for many years as well as student taught age K-8. I hold a Bachelor's from UW and am more than half way to graduating with my masters in education from SPU. I love kids so much and miss working with them as I've taken the last several years to focus on my education and myself rather than my career. I am however, ready to get back to my specialty... kids. I currently nanny for my 5 nieces/ nephews and they are growing older so I feel I need a bit more response. I look forward to meeting you and your family.

A little bit about me
My name is Olivia, I am a nanny and living in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle. I have over 10 years of experience in childcare, a degree in Early Childhood and Family Studies from the UW, and am working towards a Masters’ in Elementary Teaching. In my work with children and families, my style focuses on creating an environment that fosters independence, empathy, critical thinking, creativity, and emotional intelligence. I believe that allowing children the space to explore and navigate challenges with guidance along the way is the best way to instill resilience and confidence.
Outside of working with children, my biggest passion is creating. I love to create art whether it be sewing, baking, jewelry making, or general arts and crafts! I find joy in being outside and connecting with my community. I value kindness, justice, and emotional connection. I believe that being curious and having empathy for your fellow man is the best way to create a strong and connected community.
