Hi, I’m Leilani. I have worked in elementary education for 18 years, with ages ranging from preschool to 5th grade. Most recently, I worked with preschool age students and special needs students. I am certified in Early childhood education, have Montessori training, and an Associate degree in health care. I strive to live a healthy lifestyle and stay active, and believe laughter and fun are two of the best components to make the day go by! I am available for infant, school-age, senior care, and pet care (preferably dogs.) I am certified in Early Childhood education, love to read with children, am able to assist with after school homework, explore nature outdoors, or even lend a hand in light household chores. Additionally, I have 7+ years of experience working with seniors providing assistance with dressing, brushing teeth, etc.;standby assistance; meal prep, shopping/light housekeeping/ errands, and companionship. I enjoy working with seniors because they have so much life experience to share! *Willing to consider petsitting on a case by case basis. I am looking for part or full time childcare or senior care jobs at this time.

Leilani (June) was responsive, on time and very flexible. Highly recommend to anyone needing a sitter. Thanks! Luke

Hi there— I am Rachel, a warm, attentive, and experienced caregiver and household support professional with several years of full-time nanny experience caring for children of all ages. I have worked most often with toddlers and take care in following or creating sweet daily rhythms for young ones. I love working with kids across all stages and specialize in creative play, emotional attunement, and helping children feel safe, confident, and genuinely seen. My background includes long-term nanny roles, household management, and private chef experience. I am comfortable supporting the full rhythm of home life, from school routines and imaginative play to nourishing meal prep and keeping things organized behind the scenes. I also have experience as a children’s nature connection camp instructor and bring a strong foundation in nature-based mentorship and social-emotional learning through time playing outdoors. I love connecting with children through music, storytelling, hands-on creativity, and curiosity-led exploration. Supporting emotional regulation, resilience, and self-expression is central to how I work with kids. I aim to create spaces where they can grow while feeling secure and understood. Families often describe me as big-hearted, grounded, playful, and intuitive. I take safety and responsibility seriously while bringing warmth, joy, and calm presence into the home. My goal is always to support not just the children, but the whole family system and create an environment where everyone feels supported and at ease. I’d love to connect and see if I might be a wonderful fit for your family.

Rachel was a gem to work with. She was on time both times I worked with her (1 min early on one day), prompt, responsive, proactive, and excellent with my two children. I would highly recommend working with her!

I've grown up around animals my entire life and have cared for and looked after them ever since I can remember. I've pet sat many times before looking after both dogs and cats. I've always enjoyed looking after animals!

Hello my name is Tavia, when I was 15 years old my mom had my baby brother Julian. I helped raised my brother from birth, I babysit while my parents have date night, work events, go out of town, and occasionally overnight. As a kid growing up I'd also help my cousins with their children. I feel very comfortable around children and babies. I also worked as a caregiver.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
