Since 2008, founder Maribel Avery has been providing top-notch childcare services as a professional nanny, babysitter, and preschool teacher in the San Diego area before later relocating to Honolulu, Hawaiʻi in 2017. Maribel also obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Early Childhood Education Administration from Ashford University and has always been passionate about serving children.

During her time as a freelance caregiver, it became clear that the families she had been working with were looking for more than the typical nanny or babysitter — someone who performs light housekeeping, cooks dinner, shuttles the kids, and supervises the home — these families wanted knowledgeable, dynamic, and experienced individuals to engage their children and actively encourage their development.

She recognized the needs of the families, and in 2018, her desire to teach and stimulate children inspired the launch of her brainchild — the 808Nanny agency. Her Honolulu-based agency is ingrained in the Hawaiʻian culture and lifestyle and made up of a team of awesome “Childcare Superheroes” who are the best in the industry, have the “Aloha Spirit,” and love what they do.

Today, 808Nanny is one of the premier and most respected childcare agencies in Honolulu County and only recruits nannies and babysitters who are college-educated, energetic, and dedicated to nurturing the young minds of tomorrow to reach their full potential.
