Hi! I’m Ollie, a fun-loving neurodivergent individual who values a sense of wonder and self compassion. My experience in child care ranges from newborn to teens, including children with ADHD and Autism, and many years spent caring for numerous children in home and daycare settings. I learned all the basics with my own 5 nephews and young siblings, and have been passionate about treating children with respect, kindness and curiosity ever since. I strive to lead engaging activities, read regularly with my kiddos, and teach kids confidence, independence and emotional intelligence. I also encourage the imagination and exploring the outdoors. I have reliable transportation and am certified in First Aid and CPR. My first priority is identifying children’s needs and safety, and I do my very best to establish trust and a routine with the children in my care. If this sounds like what your family is looking for, let’s talk!

I am currently working in the mental health field, as a Resident in Counseling. I previously worked as a school counselor and will heading back to the schools this fall. So, I am looking for a temporary part time summer position beforehand. I love the outdoors, beach and time with family! I love working with children, this has been a huge part of my life since high school. I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old. I have experience with babysitting and nannying children, varying from 6 months old to age 12. I have assisted with homework help, preparing meals, bedtime and light cleaning around the house. I love organizing crafts activities for the kids I watch and playing outdoors.

Hello, I have been working part-time as a babysitting/nannying for 2 families. Due to my clients' life-changes, I am again available full-time or part-time to support the right family/ies. I have a Bachelor's Degree, CPR, First Aid, and all clearances. I most enjoy taking care of newborns, but find that I enjoy each stage of growth when the bond has grown from infancy. I value learning as a priority, reflected by 13 years of commitment to schooling three of my now adult children. What a blessing. I am proud of them all as two of the three have graduated from college. And the other, along with her husband, has brought my dear grandson into my life. I am a nurturer, who loves to learn new things myself, so it comes naturally to explore the world with those I influence. I enjoy teaching, play the piano, sing, draw, paint, cook, bake, read, knit, and create new, fun experiences. I am willing to give overnight care to newborns to give parents a good night of sleep several times per week if/or as needed. References are available on request. I hope to learn more about your family. Kendra
