My name is Olivia and I am 20 years old. I have been babysitting for seven years now if you count younger extended relatives, but professionally, five years. I come from a family of four kids, me being the youngest. To give you an idea of how much I love kids, when asked what I wanted my future job to be as a young one myself, I would say, “a mom”! My first professional babysitting job was actually with a special needs child, who I still watch occasionally today. He is now 15, wow how time flies! I would also watch his little brother. Babysitting Chris has taught me an incredible amount as well as really letting me learn patience. I met him through a summer camp for special needs children & adults where we connected instantly. Other experience I have extends to toddlers, elementary school level, and babies as Read more well. I know how to put babies to sleep, make their bottles and feed them, and of course change diapers. I have babysat both girls and boys. My most recent gig was with a brother and sister, one in 3rd grade and one in preschool. I babysat them for a couple months until the pandemic hit, where it got cut short due to one their parents now working from home. To let you learn a little about myself, I am very free spirited, fun person. I live for the beauty and opportunities that life has to offer. As a religious believer, I have high standards, morals, and values. I do not do drugs or drink. I love everything outdoors: gardening, hiking, camping, kayaking, swimming, etc. I prefer spending my time doing actual things rather than sitting behind a screen. During my free time I go to the gym, and at home I love to cook, and bake, which are also some more things I always tie into my babysitting if ok’d by the parents! I do lots of meal prep and planning as well, so if interested I can always bring this to the table. Other hobbies I take on is sewing and art. I make lots of paint creations that I eventually would like to start selling. I also have cats and dogs so I am very good with pets. i have never not connected with anyone I have babysat! Even though I can be silly and fun with them, I do know boundaries and limits with kids. I usually “discipline” based off of what the parents instruct me to do to keep consistency. I would love to introduce myself and be your next sitter! I would be a lovely asset to the family and have pleasure doing so! With me your kids will be active with puzzles, games, art, simple cooking, reading, singing, & dancing
