Aloha! I love working with children and place a strong emphasis on social-emotional development. I'm playful, I listen, I inspire, I encourage and I love being creatively inquisitive with kiddos of all ages, from infants to teens. I am a mama to two homeschooled children, ages 11 and 13. I have approximately 25 years of experience in working with children, starting as a nanny​/​sitter and evolving over the years into a lead guide for a primary aged class, to assisting in a Montessori school, to supporting the creation of an outdoor school on Kauai, to mentoring in various outdoor programs on Maui and running my own summer camp. I believe the greatest gift that we can give to our children is to get on their level and be silly and real with them; so much blossoms from there. My rate is $40 per hour. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to connecting ~
