Hi! I’m Ollie, a fun-loving Auntie and experienced Nanny. My child care experience ranges from newborns to teens, including children with disabilities, in home and daycare settings for the past ten years. I approach each assignment with curiosity, taking note and asking questions to ensure a positive experience for everyone. I strive to establish trust and routine with the children in my care, by asking them questions, reading books, and leading developmentally appropriate activities and games. More about me: I am First Aid/CPR trained, fluent in American Sign Language, and have a reliable vehicle. I spend my down time hiking, reading, baking, roller skating, and making pottery at a local studio. I work weekday mornings as a lunch lady in a middle school, offering babysitting services every weekend and on weekdays after 1:00 pm. If your family is searching for a friendly & reliable babysitter in the Harrisonburg area, I Read more would love to hear from you! 🌟

Olivia is a punctual, responsible, and kind day time and night time babysitter. We have her several times a week and my 7 month old is all smiles every time she’s there. Through virtue of telework I am aware of how active and engaged she is each day. Constantly talking with my daughter, reading books, playing, she is a wonder! Very thankful for her!

Olivia is amazing! Olivia is so sweet and kind with our little one. I feel relieved knowing they're with someone I can feel good about leaving them with when I'm at work. I highly recommend Olivia, best sitter I've ever had!

Oliva is always on time. She is an excellent commicator, she keeps me updated on what's going on while I'm away. Both myself & my husband are comfortable leaving our daughter in her very capable care; plus our daughter loves her! As a parent it's difficult to find someone you can trust with the most important person in your life, go with Oliva; you will not regret it!!!

Olivia is extremely professional in her communication, timeliness, and preparedness. I love the way she interacts intentionally with my 12-month old daughter to help her develop communication & play skills and independence. Her knowledge of emotional regulation is impressive. My daughter had a hard time being left alone the first time, and Olivia worked with us to come up with a plan to make sure our daughter felt comfortable building up to longer times away from us. I feel very comfortable leaving my daughter with Olivia!
