AVAILABLE NOW: Infant/others - In-Home Silver Spring (Layhill/Glenmont/Aspen Hill) - 1 on 1 care

[[e-mail]]

I LOVE my in-home day care provider in Silver Spring. My son has been there for a year and a half - since about 6 months of age.

One of the best things? I pay day care rates and totally get nanny service - yup, one on one care. Kinda strange huh? But I was a new momma and leaving my child with someone freaked me out until we found her. I didn't have to worry about older kids being mean (aka hitting) or time being taken away from my child if there were multiple children in the room.

Nafissa is absolutely a lovely and kind lady - warm home environment. I think she is very responsible for helping us have just an awesome tot! I kid you not - 90% of the time when I drop him off he runs to her and then (practically) slams the door in my face! LOL! I know that he really loves being with her and that makes me feel good too! I am sure it helps that she has a garage full of toys that she rotates around and has been keeping him quite busy! They spend oodles of time outside and go for a walk every day (unless it is raining/snowing).

It was great when he was a baby because he got all that special one on one care that really was important to me (the Mom) and I think to his development. Nafissa was the one that really made "tummy time" happen! She taught him to kick a ball and get the hang of a pull toy (something that regardless how much I tried he wouldn't do for me!) She and her family came to our holiday party. When I had surgery she made food for us. She has treated us like family. But Nafissa always respected us as the parents and worked with us when we were transitioning (such as solid food, no more bottles) etc.

We are off to preschool soon! I really do believe Nafissa loves my son and we are very sad to leave her. We want to see her continue to take care of other children!

If you are looking for a perfect daycare place for your child - please email me and I would love to tell you more and give you her contact info. (It kinda creeps me a little to just post her phone number on here...) Location is in the Layhill subdivision. (About a 15 min drive north of Wheaton.) Yes, I "commute" to her 20 min each way every day. No workin' momma would do that unless she really felt it was the right place for her baby!
