Aloha! My name is Shaina, and I'm a 27-year-old homeschool teacher based in Kapa'a. I have a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and previous experience in neuroscience research, but my passion is working with children. For the past 2 years, I've been a private homeschool teacher, creating one-on-one lessons that encourage curiosity, independence, and a love of learning. I started caring for kids in high school and college through babysitting, and I bring patience, creativity, and dependability to every family I work with. I enjoy arts and crafts, hands-on projects, and nature-based activities. I live on a large property with goats and a garden, offering kids a safe and engaging place to explore and play. Families describe me as nurturing, reliable, and fun, and I truly enjoy helping children grow both academically and personally.
I cannot speak highly enough of Shaina. She worked with my daughter as her homeschool teacher for two years straight, and throughout that entire time she proved herself to be incredibly reliable, responsible, intelligent, empathetic, self-aware, capable, and deeply professional. She is also exceptionally well-presented, worldly, and able to connect with both children and adults in a grounded and thoughtful way. Beyond her work as a teacher, I have also worked with Shaina personally as my assistant, and I continue to do so today. That level of continued trust says everything. She is willing, proactive, organized, and consistently brings both care and competence into everything she does. Shaina is truly a gift, and I genuinely believe that anyone lucky enough to work with her will feel the same way. I could not recommend her more highly.
