Aloooooha! My name is Synthia. I have 4 beautiful children of my own. From a young age caring for other family members and watching other family care for myself and others, it comes natural caring for kids and knowing that all children are not the same. They are special in their own way just need to find out what catches their attention. 

I’ve worked with Aloha Sitters since the beginning of 2017 and for most of that time I’ve been a Lead Sitter for the Group Child Care division, caring for a group as small as 2 to as many as 60 children at a time. I provide all the games, toys & crafts to keep the children safe, educated & entertained for as many as 26 hours (spread over 3 day events). We divide the children into 2 ages groups: 0-3yrs & 4-12yrs. I’m typically assigned to ages 0-3yrs. I am very comfortable with baby’s & toddlers; following their routine feeding/sleeping schedule, comforting them, providing positive distractions so they don’t notice that Mom is away & rocking them to sleep. The crafts & games that I play with the little ones assists with developing their social emotional, physical & cognitive skills. When assigned to ages 4-12 years, I follow an educational activities agenda, building the children emotional intelligence, resiliency, character growth, & we have a full anti-bullying campaign I take them through. The activities are disguised as fun, so the kids don’t even realize they are learning until the end. Haha. It is a task but the outcome is always awesome. Thinking of different ways to keep all the kids happy and entertained while being apart from their parents can be challenging but it’s a challenge I look forward to overcoming to the best of my abilities.  

I have my CPR and AED certificate. I also work at an Elementary school in the office and recently did a training on administrating An epi pen and the generic brand. I was born & raised on Oahu. I speak a little Hawaiian & very few words of Laotian & Samoan. I also play the ukulele.

I look forward to meeting your family and helping make your time on vacation memorable!
