Miss Bridgette is incredibly smart, warm, and intuitive -- she understands toddlers in a way that makes you feel instantly at ease, and she brings out the best in every child. The entire staff takes such wonderful care of the kids, and it's clear how deeply they value safety, kindness, and connection. Their approach to early childhood development is so balanced -- the perfect mix of structure, play, arts & crafts, language, yoga, exploration, and gentle guidance. We especially love how much time the students spend outside, learning through nature, movement, and hands-on experiences. The emphasis on community and culture is woven into everything they do, helping toddlers grow into thoughtful, curious, compassionate little humans. The price is extremely reasonable and the care is second to none. We couldn't be happier with Healthy Toddlers. It's a truly special place. You will not regret making this community part of your family, too!

It worked out so well the kids never left the sitter, and preferred to play with the other kids, and do crafts with Linda in the Villa for the evening.

Can't recommend Danielle and her babysitters enough! We were staying in Carlsbad for a wedding and…read moreneeded babysitters for our 3 kids. We contacted the hotel and they connected us with Danielle. The hotel had some initial confusion with the pricing so Danielle ended up calling me to talk about my request. I had 6 month old twins and 2.5 year old that I needed sitters for. It was my sister's wedding at the hotel and both myself and my husband were in the wedding so we needed 2 babysitters to help with all 3 kids and get them to and from family photos. Danielle was more than happy to help and matched us with Lisa and Laura. Lisa was able to help wait near the wedding to ensure my 2.5 made it down the aisle as the ring bearer and Laura watched the twins and then ensure they were dressed and ready to get back down for photos. I'm not sure when I'll be in San Diego again but if you need a babysitter/nanny I highly recommend Danielle and her company!

We have 4 kids which can be a lot for me, let alone a care giver. They are 11, 7, 4 and 1. My husband and I didn't want to have to deal with different daycares, after school programs and prices so we decided a nanny was the way to go. We found Bloom Care online and reached out to them. Emily got in touch with us promptly and we gave her a list of what we wanted in a nanny. I thought our criteria would be hard to match. Not only did she match us with the perfect nanny, she gave us better. She did her due diligence and we could not be happier! A few friends have also been matched with great nanny after our experience. Bloom Care has a gift and they're the best agency I've ever used! Thank you Bloom Care! I wouldn't hesitate to utilize their services.

After applying to a position that looked like a great fit for me, I was contacted just minutes later by Emily & Nikole! It was my first time working with an agency so I didn't know exactly what to expect but they have exceeded my expectations! I had an initial interview with Emily to get screened and placed into the agency and she was amazing and such a great help. She matched me with an amazing family very soon after that and assured me her work didn't stop there as she would be available as a mentor as I navigate through my nanny career. Bloom Care even offers back-up care so if there's a family that needs last minute care, coverage or even date night babysitting, they will reach out via email and ask if you're available to work so there's plenty of opportunities for work even if you're already a nanny or just looking for babysitting gigs! I love how nice, responsive and helpful Bloom Care is! I highly recommend them whether you're a nanny looking to find a job with the help of an agency or a family looking for your perfect nanny!!

The sitters were professional, reliable and punctual; only once was one late, it was only by a few minutes, and she texted us promptly to give an ETA. They were all great with my son. One did stand out above the rest, and Wild Roots did a great job of trying to book our preferred sitter whenever available.
