A little bit about me

Hi families! My name is Iwalani. I’m a warm, reliable, and creative nanny with a passion for supporting children’s growth through play, music, and hands-on learning. With a background in early childhood education and over a decade of experience working with children of all ages, I create a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment where kids feel seen, supported, and inspired. I love incorporating music, movement, arts, and outdoor exploration into daily routines, while maintaining structure and clear communication with families. I have been a preschool teacher since 2010 and recently transitioned from the classroom to pursue a more balanced and fulfilling path, working more closely with families. I’m dependable, patient, and full of positive energy, and I would love to support your child’s growth and development.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I bring over a decade of hands-on experience working with children in both school and home settings. I worked at Trust Montessori School in San Jose, where I supported child-led learning and developmentally appropriate practices. I then spent 10 years at The Berkeley School in Berkeley, CA building strong relationships with children and families while creating engaging, nurturing classroom environments and creating an outstanding music and movement program. Most recently, I worked at Piper Preschool in Irvine, continuing to support early learners through play-based curriculum and social-emotional development.

In addition to my school experience, I have worked as a nanny and have extensive experience leading camps and enrichment programs. I am the founder and director of independent music and arts camps, where I design and lead creative, hands-on experiences for children. My background allows me to blend structure, creativity, and care in a way that supports each child’s unique growth.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Activities I enjoy doing with children include art, music, outdoor play and nature exploration, sports and fitness, mindfulness practices, basic martial arts, literacy and storytelling, and building self-confidence through positive encouragement and creative expression.
