I'm Aram, an experienced adventure manny and academic tutor based on Maui. I provide safe, joyful childcare and custom learning support for families visiting or living on island. From caring for infants as young as 3 months to tutoring teens in school subjects, I bring calm, creativity, and curiosity to every interaction. I've worked as a substitute teacher (HI & CA), ESL instructor (South Korea), and summer camp counselor on Maui. CPR/First Aid certified with a clean 2024 background check. I blend outdoor play, emotional attunement, and educational support - ideal for families seeking a trusted guide, not just a sitter. Basic Korean, Japanese, and Mandarin-friendly. Let's help your child grow with wonder, confidence, and aloha.
Aram has been a remarkable presence in my son's life, and I cannot imagine a better person to entrust with a child's care, imagination, and sense of adventure. He does not just watch kids. He engages them. Fully. Joyfully. Wholeheartedly. On Maui, Aram has taken my son on countless adventures: sculpting elaborate sand worlds on the beach, exploring tide pools, hiking through forests, swimming in rivers, and turning everyday moments into quests. My son used to be afraid of the ocean, and Aram gently and patiently helped him build confidence until he was almost bodysurfing. That kind of support, equal parts playful and attuned, is rare. Aram is also deeply creative. They co-author stories, draw characters, make comic books, sing in the car, and follow imagination wherever it leads. He is the kind of adult who becomes a human jungle gym without a second thought and somehow still remembers sunscreen, snacks, hydration, and everyone's emotional needs. Kids adore him because he meets them where they are. Parents adore him because he is kind, intelligent, thoughtful, and grounded in integrity. I have watched him with other children as well, and he consistently shows the same attunement, humor, and steady integrity that make him so special with my son. He genuinely loves to be of service. He shows up with presence, humor, and heart. Aram is fun, trustworthy, and naturally gifted with kids of all ages. Anyone who hires him is incredibly lucky. I recommend him without hesitation.
