Meet Laurinda

Aloha! I have my US Trustline certification (which includes background check & fingerprinting). Originally from San Francisco & Marin County (Bay Area, Northern CA). I recently relocated to Kihei/Wailea area, Maui, full time last year, (after visiting for over 2 decades & with family on Kaua'i). I have many, MANY years of experience caring for & spending time with children (beginning in my teens, when I was the neighborhood babysitter). I have been a nanny off/on for the past 2 decades for various families, while I was also raising my (now grown) son, so I am also a mom. I prefer to keep kids active and engaged (minimal to no screen time, if possible). I believe in getting kids outside & interacting in nature. I like to encourage making art, creating crafts, playing board games, reading stories, and going on little adventures in town. My experience spans all ages, from Read more newborns to toddlers, school age & teens. In my free time, I am also a plant-based/holistic chef and an organizer. I enjoy learning about Hawaiian tradition & culture, being in or near the ocean, snorkle, SCUBA, yoga, riding my bike, gardening, (growing herbs, veggies & flowers), creating with clay/pottery, reading, world travel. As I live in South Maui (Wailea area), a surcharge ($25 typically) for travel time & gas for jobs on the West side (negotiable). Mahalo!
