My name is Brooke, and I am a current RU undergrad nursing student and I am looking for another family to provide care for. A little bit about me: I have 4 years of background in healthcare working at RMH as a tech in the ED (secondary PEDS ED) and at LGMC as a tech in the float pool, as well as dialysis. I am BLS & CPI certified. I also have 12 years of babysitting experience and have cared for children aged 3m-12yr. Caring for children & supporting their families is my passion, I hope to go into PEDS, NICU or L&D nursing once I finish school. I tend to have an educational approach when caring for them to help them reach developmental milestones.

Hi, My name is Emily, orginally from the East Coast, USA, but have been traveling as a professional nanny for the last nine years. It all started in 2015 when I lived in Bali for four months teaching English to kindergarteners. After that, I was introduced to nannying during a three month stay as a live-in Au Pair in Santorini, where Greece and two little girls stole my heart. We stayed together traveling full time for four years. I was there for the birth of their youngest daughter until she was four years old, along with her older sister. We spent six months a year living on a boat, so I was responsible for safety at all times, while also homeschooling and instilling a love for the natural world in many different countries. I then moved to Hawaii where I currently reside, as a nanny for two adorable boys. With this family as well, I began to work with them from newborn to age 5, the oldest from 3 until 8 years old. I have realized my true passion is assisting with newborns, and helping mom and dad establish a routine during the night. I have worked under a renowned maternity nurse in London, and am ready to take on my next position at nights for the right family. Looking to hear from and support my next Ohana, thank you. :)
