Hi! I’m Olivia and I just graduated high school. I’ve been babysitting since I was 12 and I have always loved it. I am good at keeping kids calm and collected, and will play games with them, watch TV, etc. I can drive and have my own car for whenever necessary, my mom is a nurse practitioner and could be on call if ever needed, I can do CPR, and I have done a first aid course a while ago. I love to cook, do crafts, or whatever your child wants! I’m willing to drive kids, do errands, etc.

With 7 years of experience working with kids, I bring both energy and patience to every babysitting job. I’ve been coaching gymnastics and cheer since my freshman year of high school, which has given me great experience teaching, encouraging, and keeping kids active and engaged. I’m now a freshman at Appalachian State University, pursuing a degree in nursing with the goal of becoming a pediatric nurse—because caring for children has always been my passion. I love making babysitting fun while also helping kids learn important life skills, whether it’s brushing their teeth, finishing homework, or practicing responsibility in small ways. I enjoy creating a positive, supportive environment where kids can learn, play, and feel safe. Babysitting is not just a job for me—it’s something I truly enjoy, and I look forward to helping your family by making sure your children are well cared for and having fun.
