Hello! My name is Nalani. I'm 18 years old and currently finished with high school. I offer child care services as I have 5 years of experience with babysitting children. I love babysitting and have watched kids toddler age and grade school age since I was 13 years old. I do have the responsibility of taking the public transportation to and from school and the sit. I can cook and provide fun activities for kids such as painting, drawing, music, or the playground if any nearby. I am First Aid and CPR trained. I speak English and ASL. I also have experience with children of special needs and in the autism spectrum as a special needs and autistic woman myself.
“Nalani is such an awesome, kind young lady. She was super helpful and inactive with my daughter. My daughter loved and connected with her as soon as she met her. She was super communicative as well. I would recommend families book with her.”
