Hello! I'm Whitney and I would love to spend the day caring for and teaching your children. I am a teacher who has chosen to stay at home with my twin girls. I would love to add a few more children to our daily routine of learning about the world around us. I have 4 years of experience teaching preschool children (7 years of teaching overall) and over 10 years of experience nannying. I love kids and enjoy helping them to grow and develop. In our home we spend a lot of time exploring and learning through play. Because of my experience I often find that our daily routine feels more like a classroom than a day care. It is my hope to provide the comfort and love of a home with the structure of a learning environment. I would love to talk with you more about your needs and we can work out a fair price together. I am willing to give a discount for more kids and be flexible with hours. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello parents! My title is neither nanny, nor daycare center, as I fall wonderfully in between. You get all the benefits of both with me. No large groups of children fighting for attention & passing viruses around! Yet, I provide all meals, snacks, learning & craft supplies at no extra charge. We also take trips to the library for story time & preschool activities, ONLY if parents consent to this. Each child is treated as family! So I am not a "daycare" in the sense that I do not fill my home with 6 or more little ones at once. They do not receive the individual care & attention they deserve in a situation with several children fighting for the caregiver's attention. There's also more chance of sickness in those types of facilities. I keep my numbers very low. If I ever have more than two children in my care, I have my daughter who is also First Aid, CPR & AED certified, assist in the care of the children. So you get two caregivers for the price of one. ;-) I have a college education in child care & child development. I have 27 years of experience in childcare as a teacher & chef at Children's World, as a nanny & in my own licensed home daycare. As a teenager, my weekends were always booked with babysitting jobs. I found so much joy in caring for children that I decided to take college courses & learn as much as possible about children's physical, mental, & emotional needs. I provide pictures & video via cell phone, as desired by parents, while children are in my care. I use & teach children baby signing, if parents so desire. I'm a believer in baby wearing & attachment care. I am CPR, First Aid, health & safety & Trustline certified. I am registered with AARC & accept payment from them for respite care. I love to encourage learning through Montessori education, crafts & other sensory activities. I adore & encourage the free spirited nature of children. I believe that it is extremely important for ALL children to receive love, attention & affection, but especially those who have to be away from their mom & dad during the day. I am very physically active & enjoy camping, surfing, biking, exercising, weightlifting, laughing & spending time with family & friends. I'm often described as a compassionate individual who is willing to go above and beyond in order to make others comfortable & happy. I look forward to speaking with you about your care needs & doing my best to fill them! Feel free to message me or text/call me. (619) 328-8893. Thank you, Ni

Happy Seeds is an outdoor nature program for toddlers, preschoolers, and prekindergarteners. Each day we meet at Civita Park for a half day of exploration and fun. Founded by a nature enthusiast and experienced elementary school teacher, this program aims to use nature as a tool for children to develop into unique, happy, and healthy individuals. At Happy Seeds your child will not only be exposed to the wonders of nature, but also a plethora of other subjects and concepts. They will engage in circle time where they will learn to sit and discuss in a group setting. Structured activities in areas like arts and crafts, sports, dance, music, gardening, and science are a daily part of our routine. Alongside introducing them to these subjects, children learn essential life skills like communication, decision making, critical thinking, compassion, coping with disappointment, sharing, how to be a good friend, manners, and more. At Happy Seeds, we believe in utilizing nature as a guiding tool to learn these important concepts and facilitate well-rounded development.

Outside the Lines is a play-based, outdoor-focused family child care in Serra Mesa. Our goal is provide excellent care to children while still being affordable and supportive to parents. We offer a home-cooked breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack. Meals are served family style, and the children choose what to eat and how much. This gives them power over their own bodies and builds their autonomy. The shared meals also create a community of adventurous eaters. Children are more likely to try and enjoy a new food if they see their friends eating it. We also provide sustainable diapers and are delighted to help with potty learning. Transitioning out of diapers is an empowering experience, and we have helped many children achieve diaper independence! Spending time outside is hugely beneficial to children. It improves their physical health by making them stronger and protecting them from getting sick, and it also improves their emotional health. They become less stressed and more self-confident, and are able to focus for longer periods of time. The program is built around our outdoor classroom, but we also have a large, naturally lit art studio inside where children have access to a wide variety of creative materials. The children are free to choose between indoor and outdoor play. Every child deserves to feel unconditionally loved, valued, and respected. We take the time to really see their play and process so they know they are important. To make their work visible, we share daily stories and pictures with parents. This also helps to connect parents back to their child's day while they are separated. For more detailed information, please check out our website! (http://www.outsidethelinescc.com/) If you think you might be interested in enrolling, please send us a message or give us a call and we will set up a conference where you can see the space and we can talk more about whether we would be a good fit for each other. Choosing a child care is a huge decision, and we are here to support you however we can. License #376627847
