Hi! I’m a young professional based in downtown Chicago offering babysitting for families in the area. I started babysitting for friends and neighbors growing up, and later worked as a full-time nanny for a wonderful family when I was in graduate school. More recently, I’ve volunteered in a CPS kindergarten classroom, leading reading and creative activities. While my full-time career has been in federal consulting for the past 6+ years, working with children is something I genuinely enjoy and continue to do on the side. Families I work with value that I’m responsible, discreet, and highly dependable. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and my professional background includes passing extensive background checks and holding security clearances, so you can feel confident your child is in safe, capable hands. I love creating a fun, engaging environment. As a certified yoga instructor with a background in dance and theater, I naturally incorporate Read more movement, creativity, and mindfulness into our time together. I also enjoy weaving light learning into play, whether that’s reading, building vocabulary, or introducing basic Spanish and French. I’m a big fan of outdoor time, imaginative play, and a well-built pillow fort. I’m available for occasional or recurring needs and am happy to become a trusted, go-to sitter for your family. I’d love to connect and learn what you’re looking for! Note: I have a driver’s license with a clean record, though I do not currently have a personal vehicle.

I cannot say enough fabulous things about Olivia! She is so kindhearted, patient, and loving with my three girls! They can be a handful and Olivia always seems to manage them with ease. She is quick to respond to messages from me, very communicative with her schedule and about activities she wants to plan with the girls. Oliva is great at managing some picky eaters and has even convinced our oldest to try a few new foods. She’s also great with our cat Kaiser, I think he’d go home with her if we let him! I highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a patient and responsible sitter.
