I’ve been a childcare provider for over 10 years. Watching all ages from under 6 months all the way to 13 years old. I love the laughter and joy that comes with sharing time with tiny creative minds. I am a comedian and improviser so I’ll likely be laughing and joining in with the kids in ANY and ALL jokes. I’m big on encouraging creative expression and imagination/ play based learning secretly disguised as fun. Can’t wait to hang with your little one! Fully vaccinated and boosted too! CPR/ first aid certified. Feel free to reach out about dates/ times as my posted schedule is ever changing.
“Nika was amazing and my son immediately took to playing with her. She was super communicative! Would definitely recommend ”
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.
Aloha! I am a current student at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and majoring in Elementary Education. As my mom is a long time elementary educator, I have always been surrounded by teachers and childcare. I assisted my mother and other teachers in their classrooms since I can remember and was also a after-school A+ leader during high school. Working with kids is my passion and I truly believe that allowing children to learn and grow in safe environments is extremely important. I am fun loving but also set clear boundaries with the kids I work with to ensure an enjoyable, but safe, time.
Hello! My name is Lydia. I am a licensed social worker looking for occasional or part-time babysitting jobs. I love spending time with children and partnering with families! I enjoy all things outdoors, my family, and living a simple life:)
“Thank you Lydia for providing great care to our 7 month old!”
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.
