Hi! I’m a 19-year-old responsible, caring, and dependable babysitter who will be turning 20 next month. I’ve been caring for children for most of my life, and I have 2 years of professional childcare experience. I’ve also volunteered in classrooms and daycares, giving me experience caring for children in different environments and with different needs.I previously nannied a sweet 5-year-old for a family until they relocated, and I truly loved being a part of their daily life. I’m patient, attentive, energetic, and genuinely enjoy creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for children. I’m comfortable keeping kids entertained with age-appropriate activities, helping with routines, preparing simple meals, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their parents are away.I understand how important it is to trust someone with your children, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is always to make parents feel confident and comfortable knowing their little ones are in good hands! ❤️

From creating engaging activities to providing a safe and supportive environment, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of the children under my care. I understand the importance of open communication and collaboration with parents to ensure consistency and meet the unique needs of each child.

Hi parents! I go by Olive and I can’t wait to meet your little one! I have over 7 years of experience working with ages 6 weeks to 12 years. I have one son of my own who was born in 2022 and four step children so my experience extends well beyond the classroom walls. I have 15 ECE (early childhood education) credits and am almost complete with my degree in social and behavioral science. I am currently a full-time toddler teacher and looking to switch gears to something with a bit more flexibility so I can spend more time with my own son. Thanks for taking the time to read about me!

My passion is working with children/families to build relationships. I have a Masters Degree in Education with over 20 years teaching experience with Palm Springs Unified School District (grades: 1st, 3rd and 5th). However, much of my learning as a “teacher/caregiver” has been with my own children. I have 4 children ranging in ages of 21 to 12. My oldest has autism, so I pride myself in the ability to work with kids of all ages and all levels.I spent the last 8 years running a USA Certified year-round swim team. I am certified in CPR and First Aid. I’m currently looking for part time, so I can still be available to drop off and pick up my own children at school.

I've had years of hands-on childcare experience, mainly with my two younger sisters. Even though it wasn’t a formal job at first, I treated it like one because I took it seriously. I’ve helped raise them since they were little—cooking meals, getting them ready for school, helping with homework, teaching them how to clean up after themselves, and keeping them entertained. On top of that, I’ve volunteered to babysit for family friends and during church events. I'm really patient, and I know how to keep kids safe, engaged, and happy. It’s second nature to me now, and I genuinely enjoy being that steady, supportive person in a child’s life.
