Hi my name is Melissa, I am 24 and recently moved to the North Shore of Oahu, from San Diego. I have been working with kids since I was 12, and in 2006 joined a child care agency based out of San Diego called Munchkin Minders. I was with the agency for over 5 years and met and developed great relationships with many families. I have worked with infants as young as 6 weeks up to 12 years of age and everything in between. I love working with kids and am constantly thinking of new creative ideas to keep them entertained, having fun, and most importantly well cared for. I live a pretty active lifestyle; I grew up surfing and being outdoors, and try to incorporate that with each new…

Aloha. My name is Ashley. I am Hawaiian/Japanese and grew up in Utah. My parents are from O`ahu, Hawai`i and I am returning “home” attending school at BYU-Hawaii. I am majoring in Social Work and graduate in April 2012. I’ve worked with children all my life and enjoy every second with them. Most recently, I have worked with an agency that specializes in care for children with mental disabilities.

I have worked with each of these children in creating and…
