We had the absolute pleasure of having Nalani care for our two children, ages 2 and 5, and I truly cannot speak highly enough about her. From the moment she arrived, she brought warmth, patience, and a calming presence into our home. Both of our children immediately gravitated toward her, and it was clear that she has a natural talent for working with kids of all ages. Nalani kept our children engaged with fun, educational, and creative play that was perfectly tailored to their age levels and personalities. Whether it was arts and crafts with our 5-year-old, imaginative games, or outdoor play in the backyard, she made every day feel special and exciting. She also has a wonderful way of encouraging gentle behavior, kindness, and routines — which we saw reflected in our kids even after her time with them. In addition to playtime, Nalani handled school and daycare pickups with ease and reliability. We always felt confident knowing our kids were in safe hands, even when our schedules changed or ran late. She maintained clear and consistent communication, which gave us peace of mind throughout the day. We appreciated her flexibility and willingness to work around our family's needs. Around the house, Nalani was incredibly helpful with light housekeeping related to the children. She kept their spaces tidy, handled their laundry, helped with snack and meal prep, and always made sure things were in order by the time we got home. Her support made a noticeable difference in our daily flow and helped us feel more organized and less stressed. Overall, Nalani has been a true blessing to our family. She is dependable, nurturing, and genuinely cares about the well-being and development of the children she looks after. We are so grateful for the time our children spent with her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family in search of a trustworthy and loving nanny.
