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.

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.

Nanny Amy
"Amy made a natural connection quickly with our 4 year old son and has been our go-to babysitter for 1 year and a half now. She engages with him and keeps him well entertained. He is not quick to trust new people, so we were ready for her to be challenged. She handled him very well. She is trustworthy and takes her job seriously. We recommend her to everyone!"
- Sonya
Nanny Amy
"I am still working with Amy but I wanted to let everyone know how highly I would recommend her. She has done overnights with my 3 year old special needs son, and then took care of my one week old baby over multiple overnights when I had to unexpectedly go back to the hospital - she handled everything perfectly and is the only one I trust with kids now!"

Nanny Alexis
