Aloha! My name is Shea O'Connor and I have 7 years of experience in childcare! 5 years of babysitting, and 2 years of being a nanny/overnight babysitter! I'm originally from San Diego, CA and am currently studying Elementary Education at UH Mānoa. When caring for children, I always foster a supportive, fun, and safe environment. The safety and wellbeing of the child/children is always my priority. I am always alert and attentive, and consistently engaging with the children! I have always loved children since I was a child myself. I believe they are incredibly intelligent and it is fascinating to watch their brain develop and grow! I grew up with three brothers, and my fondest memories consist of playing alongside them. I engage with the children in outdoor play, imaginary play, and independent play. I do not use or promote technology unless instructed by the parents! I am very adaptable to each child's needs and providing them with the care they need. Mahalo for taking your time to read my biography and considering me to take care of your children!

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!”
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.
