Hello! My name is Olivia. I am currently attending Radford University, I am majoring in Elementary Education. I am planning to get my Masters's degree in Special Education. I am home for the summer and in need of some extra money to start saving. I used to work at a local daycare. I was mainly put in the three-year-old room as an afternoon lead I just was not happy with the pay. I love kids. I have a lot of cousins who are in elementary school/prek. I sit them often. As I got older I really enjoyed spending time and providing a fun and safe environment for children. I grew up with younger cousins and I started sitting around the age of 13. I am flexible with elementary children as well. I interned at my Elementary school during my junior year of high school. I was placed in the fourth grade and I loved it. I find that I have the patience and I can be very involved with their interests. I enjoy planning activities and more to help the kids learn and have a bit of fun as well. I am free mostly during the week during the day. I can also work some weekends if needed.
