Meet Sheila!

Aloha!  My name is Sheila, and I am originally from just outside of Boston, Massachusetts.  I have been living on Oahu's North Shore for a number of years now, having moved to Hawai`i in 2006.  I have been caring for children for over ten years, beginning as the family babysitter.  I have sophisticated my skills through multiple positions, including pre-school assistant teacher (providing sole responsibility for up to six children at a time), Autism skills trainer, as well as a private family nanny, in addition to various babysitting jobs.
