I have spent the last 9 years watching children ranging in age from 2 weeks to 13 years old. I have watched children in my house and theirs, I have also gotten the chance to be a live in nanny, and I have helped out on family vacations before as well. I am comfortable with duties such as diapers, light cooking and housework, and homework help as well. I also have a well maintained car so after school activities are no problem either. I am 30 years old and about to turn 31, I have lived in the same place since 2001 and am engaged to be married. I have no children of my own as of yet. I love the outdoors, am an avid hiker, and love spending time with my fiance and my dog doing anything outside. I am also currently in school getting my early childhood education credits. I was born in Orange, CA but was raised in Oregon. We had a large family growing up with 5 kids. My up bringing was fun, a lot of playing in the river and hiking in the forest. I love my job and think that is the secret to a happy life. Love what you do and you never work a day in your life. Thanks for taking the time to check out my profile if you have any questions just ask!

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.
