A short hello from Katelyn before you meet.
Why I do this work
“Hi! I'm an outgoing and friendly person currently studying social work at Brigham Young University Hawaii. I love being outdoors and am especially passionate about surfing and hiking. I've also loved being around families and children for a very long time, and I really enjoy creating positive connections and being someone others feel comfortable around.”
Katelyn's background
My childcare journey began at age 13 babysitting for neighbors, and over the past five years, I have cared for children ranging from newborns and six-month-old infants all the way up to teenagers. My experience spans private home settings working extensively with both local and international families on Oahu. Last summer, I provided full-time care for a family with four children for three months, balancing daily routines, gentle infant care, and engaging activities tailored to each child. My caregiving style is active, creative, and gentle. I love filling our days with hands-on crafts, drawing, painting, and outdoor adventures like hikes, walks, and trips to the beach. Whether easing an infant into a peaceful routine or keeping older children actively exploring nature, my focus is always on creating a safe, joyous, and structured environment for your children.
