"Loving, Play-Based Childcare from the Heart."
Welcome to Daffodil Hill Childcare! With 25 years of nurturing experience, we provide loving, child-led care that feels like home — where every child's unique spirit is celebrated.
My journey with children began over 25 years ago — starting as a babysitter and blossoming into roles as a live-in nanny, preschool teacher, and Newborn expert. Along the way, I've cared for children from newborns to teenagers, in family homes, classrooms, and across the country.
I started Daffodil Hill Childcare because I believe every child deserves care that feels like home — warm, consistent, and deeply loving. Play-based and child-led, my approach honors each child's unique pace and spirit.
Our mission is to provide a warm, inviting, and safe environment where every child feels loved, valued, and free to be themselves. Through play-based and child-led care, we celebrate each child's unique spirit, nurture their self-esteem, and foster a sense of inclusion and belonging — creating a community built on love, respect, and joy.
