As a K–6 teacher for the past 6 years, I’ve had the joy of helping children grow academically and emotionally through creativity, patience, and consistent routines. Arts and emotional expression are important in my work, and I believe every child deserves to feel safe, respected, and encouraged. I take tutoring seriously and love creating clear goals that lead to quick, meaningful improvement. Outside the classroom, I’m a huge dog lover and have experience caring for pups of all sizes and personalities. I approach both teaching and pet care with heart, responsibility, and a warm presence.

I come from a lifelong private Catholic school background and graduated from a college-preparatory high school in Los Angeles. I am currently a full-time Marine Biology student at Hawaii Pacific University, balancing academics with several years of hands-on childcare experience as a teacher’s aide, math tutor, and volleyball coach. I have assisted with lesson planning, supervised field trips, led student groups, tracked progress, and supported children one-on-one while communicating closely with parents and staff. I’m patient, dependable, organized, and calm under pressure, with strong leadership and caregiving skills. I’m Filipino, understand Tagalog and Spanish, and am comfortable working with diverse families.

Hello! I’m Alexa, and I’m excited to introduce myself to you! I have extensively babysat for neighbors, family friends, and relatives for over 5 years. Through this I have gained valuable experience working with infants, toddlers and school age children. I’ve been responsible for feeding, diaper changing, meal prepping, bathing, putting to bed, potty training, creating new experiences, outdoor activities, and fun for all. I am creative, intuitive, responsible, and passionate about children’s health and learning. I love being a part of creating a happy, productive, and fulfilling space for children to grow and be themselves. I’m looking forward to sharing my skills and experience in hopes to benefit you and your child. I also have good experience caring for pets (cats, dogs, rabbits) and taking care of the house (cleaning, tidying, laundry). I grew up with cats and later rabbits and I currently live with my own cat and dog. I have also cared for others pets on many occasions. I hope to help as much as possible and make the experience as smooth and beneficial as I can. I look forward to getting to know the family and providing the best care. I’m happy to provide references upon request.

I’m Hailey, a student at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa majoring in Elementary Education. I have hands-on experience as a preschool assistant teacher, private nanny, and pet sitter, along with several years working with children through youth sports and classroom settings. I love working with kids of all ages, from helping with schoolwork and activities to creating fun, safe environments that encourage growth. I also have extensive experience in pet care—walking dogs, feeding, administering medication, and making sure pets feel comfortable and loved. Families often describe me as responsible, dependable, and easy to communicate with. Whether you need childcare, pet sitting, or house sitting, I bring strong organizational skills, patience, and genuine care into every role. My goal is always to give families peace of mind by being reliable and trustworthy.
