I know how important for moms to find a right nanny. The nanny that doesn't consider their kid as a job but considers it as a big responsibility and love that she can give to a child. The nanny that is attentive to all concerns and little nuances that moms want her to do. The nanny that loves and gives a lot of warmness to a kid but at the same time doesn't make herself more important than dad or mom to a kid. My name is Aisha. I am a mom of a toddler girl. I am living with my family on Imperial Beach and I love walking on the beach with my little one. My major is art teacher, I love doing arts and crafts with kids. I also think that outside activity is not less important! I am CPR and Infant First Aid certified and I am bilingual. I believe in healthy food, no junk for kids!

Dolores says "She is very nice and honest. What i like about her, that she is very respectful to parents will."

Enrolling now. Hello families, thank you for your interest. I am Joyce, a licensed home childcare provider. I have been helping San Diego families for nearly 13 years. I keep a small and personal group of kids at a time and welcome children from the age of 3 months to 4 years old. I provide a comfortable, family like environment where children can play and learn with each other under my guidance. I focus on the development of each child and ensure they reach their developmental milestones. Routine is also key in my daycare; encouraging children to grow into their independence and build confidence knowing they can do things on their own. While health and safety are my top priority, I offer dependebility, flexibility and trustworthy childcare. I do realize many of you are now working from home and prefer a nanny to care for your little one; but if you consider daycare I will be available for a phone interview. Hope to meet you soon.

Care Member says "I've had a wonderful experience with Joyce! One of the standout aspects is their great availability — she’s incredibly accommodating with scheduling,...

Before we began our family I was working for SDUSD Children Centers as a Preschool Teacher. Peppergrove is a developmentally based Preschool Program with hands-on learning activities. Science, Art and Music are an integral part of the curriculum. Curriculum is set-up in two week units and has one broad subject such as 'how plants grow', 'bugs and butterflies'... along with the basics---letters, numbers, shapes. Language is a critical component as well. As an emergent reader it is the Preschoolers doorway to not only strong reading skills and mastering math but also their ability to problem solve. The Preschool is separate from the rest of the house. The classroom consist of the Rug Room which has the science table and floor activities such as blocks, cars, manipulative... It is also were we do Group Time and Music. The Art Room is for table activities such as drawing, puzzles, games, art projects... This is also where we eat and it has the bathroom. The last room is Dramatic Play for dress-up and housekeeping. It also has a funky piano that the children may use 'to make music'. Academics are important but a positive self image is essential and directly related to school success. It is the most important thing a child needs in order to reach their full potential. It is my objective to offer a challenging classroom setting which promotes both learning and a positive self-image. I am very proud of this program. We offer a safe, nurturing, learning environment. Because we are small, we can prepare each child for kindergarten while embracing their unique talents and strength.
