About Octavia

Experience: 7 yrs

I've been caring for children from 6 months to 14 years old since I was 13 years old. I started by babysitting for my aunt's children and, through referrals, began caring for the children of close family friends. In addition to babysitting, I've also worked professionally with children in both educational and community settings. My experience includes supporting students, planning engaging activities, and creating safe, positive environments where children can learn, grow, and have fun. These experiences have helped me develop patience, strong communication skills, and the ability to connect with children of different ages and personalities. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids, whether we're playing games, being active outdoors, helping with homework, reading books, or doing creative activities. My goal is always to make children feel safe, supported, and encouraged while giving parents peace of mind knowing their little ones are in caring and dependable hands.
