Aloha! My passion for childcare is deeply rooted in my personal mission to support the integrative journey of children and families in meaningful, personalized ways. I love being a sitter because it allows me to build long-term, trusting relationships with families and support children as they grow into confident, emotionally healthy individuals. My Approach Every family is unique, and I take time to understand your specific needs and values. I tailor my caregiving approach to align with your household's routines, parenting style, and each child’s individual personality and developmental stage needs. Whether I’m offering social-emotional support, creating structured routines, or simply helping with daily logistics, I aim to make life easier and more joyful for everyone in the home. I’m a PhD candidate and research scholar in developmental child psychology and human development. Play is an integral piece of human wellness and the thread we weave healthy development for families.
