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 β€œteacher/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 littleβ€”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.

Hi! My name is Dania. I’m a caring, responsible, and patient person who truly enjoys working with children. I am currently a substitute teacher and have been working in education for about 5 years. Through my work in schools, I have experience working with children ages 5–13 and supporting them in both learning and everyday activities. Working in education has helped me develop strong skills in patience, communication, and creating a safe and positive environment for kids. I’m comfortable helping with homework, keeping children engaged with fun and educational activities, preparing simple meals or snacks, and following routines like bedtime or after-school schedules. I understand how important it is for parents to trust the person caring for their children, and I always make safety, kindness, and respect a priority. My goal is to make sure kids feel comfortable, supported, and have fun while they are in my care. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, building legos, going to the gym and I like bringing creativity and fun activities into the time I spend with kids.

Hi, I'm Rakia, and I love spending time with kids. I recently spent a year as an au pair in Australia, caring for children and supporting their daily routines, which strengthened my confidence, patience, and ability to connect with kids of different ages. Before that, I worked as a Teacher's Assistant at my school daycare center, where I had the joy of playing with, feeding, and putting infants to sleep. With CPR and Stop the Wound certifications, safety is always my top priority. I'm passionate about helping children learn and grow, and I'm pursuing a career in pediatrics so I can continue making a positive impact in their lives.
