Hello!

Hello! My name is Olivia; I'm energetic, creative, and I love working with children. I have a multitude of experience and training in working with children, because I have been a camp counsellor for the summers since I was 16. I would love to work with you to plan activities that your children will enjoy, and help them with educational learning activities. I have a good attitude and a lot of patience, but I also know how to enforce discipline and deal with emergencies with a cool head. I am currently attending the Child and Youth Care program at Fanshawe and am available some evenings and all weekends. Let's get together and talk about your child care needs! Willing to help out in any way that I can. I am looking forward to meeting with you and discussing this further.
