Meet Olive
- Speaks French
Hello! After 16 months caring for a wonderful baby girl who is now starting daycare, I am looking for a new full-time position with a loving family. I have a soft spot for babies and truly enjoy caring for them. I bring over 19 years of experience, and caring for children is more than a job for me — it’s something I do with my whole heart. I also help with light housekeeping and cooking to support the whole family. I am a fluent French speaker and speak limited English. However, many families have found this to be a positive — the little girl I’ve cared for recently now says several words in French! I don’t just meet a baby’s basic needs — I actively engage with them through creative play, singing, and activities that support early language development. I love singing to babies and watching how they light up Read more with joy during interactive play. Helping little ones learn and grow through connection and care is something I truly enjoy. I’m reliable, nurturing, and ready to bring love and support to a new home. I’m happy to provide references from my current family. Please reach out if you’d like to learn more. 💕

Olive is a sweet lady who loves babies and kids! We were fortunate to have her care for our 5 and 2 years old a few times so hubby and I could get some much needed date nights. She loves to play and entertain the kids, is trustworthy, very patient and mild mannered. We highly recommend her!

We feel incredibly lucky to have had Ms. Olive as our amazing nanny as part of our family for over a year. She is caring, dependable, and has a true gift with babies. Her calm, nurturing presence and deep experience with infant care gave us so much peace of mind. She doesn’t just take care of a baby’s needs — she engages through singing, creative play, and gentle encouragement. Our daughter absolutely thrived under her care. She also supports the household with light housekeeping and cooking, which made our lives significantly easier. While her English is limited, she is a fluent French speaker — and this became a wonderful benefit. Our daughter picked up several French words and developed a sweet bond through their shared language. We can’t recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking for a loving, trustworthy, and experienced caregiver look no further!
