About Olga

I am Colombian and work in Colombia as a teacher of science and biology and always taught my students the care of nature and the good treatment of others. In addition, I worked with 10 and 11 high school students, a program of care and recreation for children victims of domestic violence. When I arrived in the United States, I had the opportunity to care for over 11 years to an elderly couple, she had Alzheimer, and her husband had Parkinson. After they passed away, I had been caring babies, for almost a year to my granddaughter and after I am caring a baby from 3 months old until now that is 17 months and he will go to daycare. Always, I liked taking care of people, help them to make a decent living and working in the care of their illnesses and everything they need.I am very patient and love caring people.
