I have worked with children of all ages for over 6 years now. I have two children of my own, a 5 year old son and a 5 month old girl. I work on Sundays at our church in Irvine in the child care program as well. I have many references, can provide a flawless background check and I am CPR/first aid certified. I am an in-home child care looking to take on 1 or 2 children, one any age and the other old enough to sit in front seat of car (car seats take up all back seats). I don't have any children that I am taking care of now (other than my own) my last two children moved out of state and I only take on 2 at a time so the children have my full attention and don't feel left out. I provide the food, breakfast, lunch and/or dinner if needed and snacks. All the food I prepare and is all healthy, organic and fresh! I have a new, safe and reliable car with a great driving record. I live in a 3 bedroom, 3 bath home. I have turned half of the garage into a playroom as well as the whole house and backyard is open to playing as well.

I'm really proud of the work I do running Happy Home Daycare, just as I am of my three sons. Each of them has found their own path-my oldest is a doctor, my second is a chiropractor, and my youngest is an attorney. Their dedication inspires me every day. In my daycare, I focus on creating a warm and supportive environment for every child, making sure they feel valued and loved. I take joy in watching each child reach their milestones, and my goal is to ensure that every little one knows they are special and supported as they explore and learn.

If you're looking for a small in-home daycare, then Katie's Daycare is for you. Our name is Donna and my twin sister is Yvonne and we grew up with our mother running a day care for 30+ years and we are very excited to start our own business to continue the experience we've gained from her.

Happy Angels Haven

Happy Angels Haven, located in Laguna Hills, is just three blocks from 5 & 405 freeway, and just two easy turns to reach me on Alicia Parkway. Parents like a quick pick-up and drop-off, and so we work tirelessly to make everything as convenient as possible. We offer an inviting, fun-loving, caring, warm, home-like environment for children of all ages. We cover, Laguna Hills, Mission Viejo, Aliso Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita, Laguna Niguel, and more. We have openings for infant/toddlers at this time and also offer after-school care. For after school care, the child has to be at least 5 years of age in accordance with the licensing capacity. I am a licensed and certified CPR, serving for the last 23 years. I am affiliated with the Children Home Society of America, and Nurses Zone. For my excellent service and cleanliness, I have been complimented for keeping the facility super clean and in compliance of the State and Social Services rules and regulations. There is a very large play area, a separate nursery for newborns, as we can't mingle them with toddlers. We have the largest backyard within the neighborhood with beautiful panoramic view, swings, long tricycle pathway, and unlimited fresh cooked meals every day and all-day long. I don't believe in two snacks and a lunch only, children are growing and constantly need nourishment. We have structured program with variety of activities for our kids like coloring, recognition of alphabets, numbers, colors, shapes, circle time (games and basic general knowledge), dancing hour, bubble party and creative story time which is lots of fun. Kids learn social skills and learn sharing, caring and good manners which parents see in their behavior as they grow. I have excellent references, open days, evenings, and nights for nurses and other graveyard shift parents. I do give daycare presentation after 6:30 p.m. or Saturday morning and share a lot with the parents, so that they get to know what I have to offer. We have also helped many single moms expand their horizons, and take their careers to the next level, giving them better financial opportunity, support and a future. The key is flexibility, as we always urge parents to visit different day care facilities and compare. In childcare, price is always secondary, as the happiness of parents and children comes first. You will not see any kids in the pictures because of our strict privacy policy.
