I began babysitting at age 11. Throughout my schoolyears I enjoyed babysitting all the neighbors' children until I went away to college. When I moved to Kauai about 10 years ago I worked for the Smith family in Kilauea regularly. They had 3 young surfer boys and I cooked for the whole family as well. After that I babysat regularly for a family in Princeville with 4 children. My most recent experience is with a child care agency on Kauai. I babysit for vacationing families from all over the U.S. and also other countries. I have always loved being around children. Depending on their age I like to play games with them, read to them, take them to the playground, take walks. I love to do art projects with crayons or paint and even do coloring books. I like outdoors activities if it isn't raining. I like to find something Read more they enjoy. Personally, I am active, love to dance, sing, swim, hike and be outdoors. I am a trained Hula Dancer and love the Hawaiian culture. I also love to garden and cook. I like children of all ages. For over 10 years, I was a professional home health care provider for people of all ages who were either injured, sick or recuperating from a stroke. As a result, I am very familiar with caring for people and helping to meet their needs. I am highly educated. I have 2 Masters degrees. One in Higher Educational Administration and one in Professional Writing. I am certified in First Aid and CPR and have also been a school teacher.
