My babysitting career first started when i was about 12. I have done so great ever since. Even though I am only 14, I consider myself a really sitter. I have had much experience and will charge $12 and hour. I'm sorry if it is too much for some people, but I really need the money.

Finding the right childcare provider is one of the most important decisions as a parent. You not only need to make sure you find a safe and loving environment, but also a place that will stimulate his/her mind and prepare him/her for preschool. We want our children to learn manners and practice good hygiene. We expect they will get sunshine and exercise daily. And it's not much to expect daily pictures and reports of your child, so you can have peace of mind and share in their day to day experience. I am a state licensed childcare home providing care for children 0-7 years old. Certified in CPR, first aid and pediatric health, and also insured. But I am more than that, I am a home. I am a mamma of a 2-year-old boy and provide a great schedule of fun, learning and love. I believe a routine can keep the momentum and flexibility will lend to giggles and laughter. With a balance of learning everyday manners and hygiene to getting moving in the park next door (literally next door!) - we will make every day a day to tell mommy and daddy about. I not only have a big park next door - I also have a back yard with a spacious patio, plenty of grass to run on and a shaded sandbox! Space is limited due to state ratio regulations - so please set up an interview so I can show you my home!

FAQs for finding drop-in daycares near you in Ladera Ranch, CA

Drop-in daycare near you in Ladera Ranch, CA can be a flexible and convenient solution for busy parents who need child care on an as-needed basis. This type of child care gives families the flexibility to drop their children off for just a few hours or for an entire day, depending on their individual needs. This kind of drop-in service can help to reduce stress associated with arranging more traditional, longer-term child care options.

Typically, drop-in daycares cater to children between the ages of 6 weeks and 5 years old, but daycares will vary depending on their facilities and requirements. When reaching out to drop-in daycares in Ladera Ranch, CA, be sure to mention the age of your child or children and confirm they accept children in that range.

While drop-in daycares in Ladera Ranch, CA may require a short registration process and forms to be filled out, it is usually not necessary to make a reservation ahead of time for each visit. This convenience makes drop-in daycare an ideal option for those with unpredictable schedules or when babysitters aren't available due to illness or other unanticipated events. However, drop-in centers may fill up quickly during peak times, so it's always best to call ahead to ensure the needed availability.

When preparing to drop your child off at drop-in daycare near you in Ladera Ranch, CA, it is important to make sure that you are bringing all of the necessary items for a successful and enjoyable experience. Remember to bring any blankets or stuffed animals that may serve as a comfort item -- this may even include pacifiers or sippy cups if necessary.
