Meet Matiana
A short hello from Matiana before you meet.
Why I do this work
“Hi! My name is Matiana. I’ve lived on Oahu for the past 7 years. I’m a certified health teacher with a degree in dietetics, and I’m also passionate about music—I’ve sung at several venues around the island! Currently, I work as a substitute teacher while pursuing flight school, and I’m looking for a flexible nanny role that allows me to support myself while prioritizing my education. I love engaging with kids, helping them learn, and making their days fun and meaningful.”
Matiana's background
I have a strong background in education and childcare. I taught health to middle school students for two years and currently substitute teach preschool through 8th grade. I’ve babysat for friends, at churches, and worked as a care professional for children with disabilities and have worked with international families. While I have experience with infants, I’m most confident with toddlers and older children. I enjoy teaching through play, creative activities, and hands-on learning, and I’m committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for every child I care for.
