Little Sprouts & Co

< 1 mi

Little Sprouts & Co. is a trusted Bay Area nanny agency dedicated to connecting families with nurturing, reliable, and experienced caregivers. We carefully screen and have a rigorous vetting process and match each nanny to meet your family's unique needs-whether you're looking for long-term support, temporary care, or help during transitions. Our mission is to give families peace of mind and children a safe, loving environment to grow and thrive. After working as professional nannies ourselves for many years, my co-founder Delaney and I saw firsthand how overwhelming the search process can feel for parents. That's why we started Little Sprouts & Co.-to take the stress off families and provide a more thoughtful, personal approach than what you often see with larger, transactional agencies in the Bay Area. While experience is of course essential, we also believe the right match goes far beyond a résumé. We take time to understand each family's values, parenting style, and home environment, and we place just as much importance on personality fit-because the best matches are the ones where a nanny truly feels like part of the family. We're available 24/7, and we treat each search with the care it deserves. Our process is very thorough: multiple interviews, detailed reference checks, comprehensive background checks, and rigorous vetting every step of the way. In other words, we do all the hard work so you can feel confident and focus on your family, knowing every detail is being handled professionally. This is not just work for us-it's something we're deeply passionate about, and we take pride in helping families find caregivers they can trust completely. We'd be honored to help your family through this important decision.

Care Member says "A small nanny agency that made us feel like family."

I've been a childcare provider for 30+ years and have worked with hundreds of preschool and school-aged children. I have taught at public and private preschools, public elementary schools, and family daycare centers including Santa Clara Unified schools, Bowers, Washington Open, Wilson, Briarwood, Hughes, and Montague. I raised six children of my own and was an active parent participant at their schools and extracurricular activities. I have 40+ child development units, 130+ hours of professional development training, and an associate teacher's permit. I am certified in pediatric CPR, AED, and First Aid. I have Live Scan fingerprinting, background check, and I'm a mandated reporter. I have extensive experience with English language learners. I am fully Vaccinated, including Covid 19. My licensed family daycare facility (license #434411459) provides a full classroom environment for a variety of learning activities including math, science, cooking, music, sensory development, small and large motor development, conflict resolution, and outdoor play. Our large classroom includes dedicated areas for reading, art projects, playhouse and dress-up, building, puzzles, science, and cooking, as well as outdoor spaces for biking, water play, climbing, and sports activities. We go on walking field trips to nearby parks and libraries. I prepare a daily educational curriculum with activities centered around a theme. For example, Letter Jj Day, Counting & Sorting Day, Patterns Day, Cooking Day, Sewing Day, Color Green Day, Feelings Day, Nature Walk Day, Book Day, Measuring Day, Bubbles Day, Exercise Day, Opposites Day, Rhyming Day, Gardening Day, etc. I provide breakfast, drinks, snacks, teeth brushing, and laundry services. Children bring their own lunches. Each child is provided for individually based on his or her dietary needs. A report is sent home each day outlining foods eaten, nap times, and the activities that each child participated in. I am open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday-Friday. I accept full-time, part-time, and drop-in students ages 1 year and up. Children do not need to be potty trained. The children in my program are a very large part of each others lives, as well as mine. It is very much like a family. Please call or email with questions or to arrange a preschool tour!

Play To Learn Daycare is a place where children will be nurtured, safe and supplied with developmentally appropriate learning experiences. By giving attentive care, we recognize each child's uniqueness and interests, so that we are able to expand upon their knowledge in all areas of development. Intentional play is playing with a purpose. Children are encouraged to learn by exploring topics that interest them. This yields chances for them to practice flexible thinking and come up with insightful solutions to problems. A positive guidance approach is used here, recognizing and accepting children's feelings then encouraging appropriate expression. We partner with parents to provide open communication that creates better care for all children. Our program emphasizes creativity and independence. We believe that caring for children in a sensitive, supportive way is work of great importance.
