With extensive experience raising 5 children singlehandedly (2 are twin girls and all are grown adults now), and providing care for two grandchildren since birth, I possess a strong foundation in nurturing and supporting children. My skills as a nanny are rooted in hands-on, practical experience, showcasing my dedication to fostering a loving and supportive environment for young ones. What I love most about being a nanny is the opportunity to contribute to a child's growth and well-being while creating lasting connections.

It's important to receive honest reviews on personnel who you may be evaluating to come into your home and perform needed services. I want to write up a testimonial review of my time being cared for by Kulaea (aka Kay). Kay stayed as a live-in caregiver 7-days a week. She assisted me with showering and performed housekeeping (cleaning/laundry etc), shopping at Costco & local food markets, gas fill-ups, pharmacy pickups, dog walking, meal prep, etc. Never once did I fret that she would not take the maximum precautions to prep using face mask and gloves, mindful of her status as my caregiver and to protect herself and others in the public. I am a highly vulnerable respiratory patient in decline, so the COVID-19 is an extremely serious threat. During her stay with me, Kay consistently displayed remarkable qualities: -- a joyful attitude and artistic approach to mundane tasks -- high intelligence. -- excellent innate judgement. -- excellent communication skills and a good listener. -- impeccable cleanliness and sanitation regimens. -- empathetic conscientiousness. -- skill in preparation, planning and scheduling. -- excellent general nursing skills. -- skill in general technology and ability to research solutions to tech problems. -- kind, gentle and genuine patient concern. -- personal pride in appearance and professional duties. -- utmost trustworthiness. Over a period of a year, I have had 7 caregivers varying in length of stay. Unequivocally I can confidently state that Kay excelled above and surpassed all the others in temperament, responsiveness, hygiene, and overall conscientiousness. Her caring attitude, commitment to excellence and meticulous approach set her apart. I highly recommend her services. Kay is a professional and proactive caregiver. She is a perfectionist who enjoys performing at a high level. If she requires a higher rate/stipend; her exceptional services are well worth it as she will more than fulfill your expectations in her overall and detailed excellence. I hope this is helpful in your decision making.
