Hello, Stevie here! A Bit About Me: I live on the Big Island, Kona side and am a professional woman with accumulated experience as an Au Pair, ESL teacher, Pre-K class teacher, ABA behavior therapy, tutoring, sitting, as well as working and volunteering with children with special needs. I have been fortunate enough to meet so many amazing humans throughout my time and career caring for others, and aim to cultivate a similar loving environment for those around me. My hobbies include gardening, language exchange, reading, art, hiking, cycling and cooking. Educational Values: I believe in naturalistic teaching, utilizing a child's daily environment to stimulate curiosity and growth. Music and art play a large role in my own daily life, and ate tools I regularly implement in play and lessons, or transitioning between activities. Organization and safety is of the utmost importance to me and will be maintained at all times. I look forward to meeting your family soon!
Stevie is the BEST childcare giver we have ever had. She helped us for a few weekends to babysit our 2 and half year old son during our vacation. She has always been on time or mostly earlier. She turned routine activities such as hand washing into games so my son enjoyed them. She tried to incorporate educational activities like counting and shapes when playing with my son on the beach and to introduce new vocabularies to my son during story time in a very professional way. We had been struggling with potty training our son for a long time. Stevie took on the challenge to use a regular underwear with my son rather than a diaper which took us back to the track. Our son hasn't wore a diaper since the first day we had Stevie and now he is fully potty trained. We would definitely hire her again when we go back to Honolulu.
