Meet Emily

General
Aloha! My name is Emily and I am from Portland, Oregon. I currently attend BYU Hawaii and will be graduating next year in Exercise and Sport Science. I grew up babysitting my neighbors from ages 1-10. I would mostly watch families with only 2 or 3 kids but have handled much more. I was the neighborhood's go-to babysitter for any occasion.

Meet Melissa!

General
Hey there my name is Melissa and I was born and raised in the country side of Hertfordshire, England. I was raised in a loving family of 6 children constantly surrounded by immediate and extended family. My upbringing was jam packed with good times and plenty laughs. Eventually my older siblings and cousins started families and that’s where I came into the picture! Of course, they all needed a baby sitter and so I took it upon myself to care and tend to the needs of the little ones. The local church group I attended placed me in charge of the nursery that had babies, toddlers, infants, and young children. From there it all just overflowed into an amazing adventure of experiences that took me all around the world. I…

Meet Michelle!

General
Alooooha! My name is Michelle. I am 23 years old. I grew up in San Diego, California. I am the youngest of 9 children in my family. I've been an aunt since I was 6 years old so growing up it has always felt like I've had younger siblings to care for. Having so many nieces and nephews I have always had many opportunities to babysit and watch over them. Aside from family, as a teenager I would often babysit on the weekends for members of my church. This taught me a lot about patience and the need to interact with the kids. Just after High School I started working at a gym called Frog's Fitness. There I was able to work in the nursery and really learn a lot…
