THE BEST OF THE BEST
The Hawaiian word “kahu” means we are given the honor to care for another. Guardian, protector, someone entrusted with the care of something precious or cherished. It’s a term that reflects a deeper connection & responsibility towards the one being cared for.
Our list of Kahu is a list of shining stars. They have taken their care providing to the next level by offering their own services directly to clients. They are their own business entity, operating as a sole proprietor, limited liability company, or corporation. They are registered with the state of Hawaii to provide their care services directly to you. They are their own supervisor, employer, & boss. Having this status allows them to keep more of the money you pay to them, which we know is important to you. Being an independent care provider also allows them to provide the flexible service you are seeking (on-call, short-term, occasional, one-time, etc.).
As you will see from reading the bio’s below, they are the BEST of the best. We have higher qualification standards than one would expect to ensure that you receive the best experience.
Covid Safety Announcement: All kahu are fully vaccinated, with the exception of those who have an exemption. In their private lives, they are conscientious that protecting their own health will protect the health of the kupuna that are entrusted to be in their care. For additional compensation, they would be happy to take a COVID rapid test prior to their arrival to give you additional assurance. Please be sure to let our Director know if you have a vaccination preference so we can further ensure a perfect match. Mahalo!
