Elevated Dayhomes

Each of our dayhomes are united in the following value-based practices:

  • We are attentive to each child’s emotions, moods, and cues to provide prompt responsive care.

  • We build trust with patience and consistency. It is important that each child in our care feels seen and heard.

  • We practice empathetic, proactive, and gentle guidance with redirection that is empowering rather than punitive.

  • We value flexibility over rigidity. Due to our intimate care ratio, we are able to accommodate a variety of wake windows, dietary preferences, and fluctuating needs.

  • We support the family connection by sharing photos and text communication updates, to keep parents attuned to their child’s daily experience.

  • Kam immediately made us feel comfortable as parents and, more importantly, created a calm, nurturing space where our daughter felt safe and engaged from the get go. She is kind, thoughtful, and creative, with a natural ability to connect while remaining incredibly trustworthy and competent.

  • “Prior to finding Kam, my daughter E had been “kicked out” of an in-home care facility on her second day for crying too much. That prior experience left us terrified that there was something wrong with our baby and that we wouldn’t find anyone that could or would care for her. Kam was a godsend for us!

    She was immediately willing to take E in and give her individualized attention and love. Kam has a calm demeanor, an incredible amount of patience, and maturity beyond her years. From the very first day that E was in Kam’s care, it was clear that E bonded with Kam, and we knew that she was someone that we could entrust with our daughter’s care.

  • Kam has been both knowledgeable about each stage as well as willing to take direction from us as parents to always provide the same type of care that we would at home. Throughout each day we are sent pictures of the fun that E is having, whether it be reading books, playing instruments, or out on adventures to the playground. We were super lucky to have found Kam. She was exactly what our daughter needed.

    Kam also has the ability to keep track of multiple toddlers at the same time. She is genuinely nurturing and responsible by nature. We cannot recommend her enough! If you are looking for a nanny that will truly care about your baby’s well-being and give them the kind of love that you would at home, look no further. You have found what you are looking for in Kam! She is a blessing.”

  • “I am happy to recommend Kam as a phenomenal caregiver! Kam helped take care of my daughter for over two years since my daughter was an infant, in a two-provider setting. Kam then independently took care of my daughter, age 2.5 and my son, age 5 over the summer. She provided so much fun for them with games, crafts, puzzles, dance parties, creative play, baking, walks to parks, and lots of outside play in the yard.

    One of my favorite things that Kam made sure to do was take pictures to keep me updated on all their fun activities. It always made me so happy and relieved to see my kids’ smiles throughout the day, and she was great at capturing such sweet moments. She is punctual, flexible, and so sweet! I know she will work with you on your every need.”

  • “I highly recommend Kam as a care provider! My son loves going to her house, and she spends time every day engaging with him in tasks to develop his fine motor skills and other developmental tasks - all with fun, creative games!”
    -B

  • “I cannot imagine our first few years as working parents without Kam. When I went back to work after my daughter was born, I was a mess! I felt incredibly guilty leaving my little baby. But, slowly, we realized how much love, care, and little adventures our daughter was experiencing every day with Kam. From playing in the leaves and sidewalk chalk, to library read-alouds and park play dates, Kam always made sure there was something fun to play with and explore. In every interaction, Kam was incredibly patient and kind. She worked with us to develop a napping and feeding schedule that worked for everyone, provided great advice from her years working with kiddos, and never judged our mistakes as first time parents.

  • Our daughter has grown into an extremely funny, verbal, and confident toddler, ready to try anything. (She also knows how to put her shoes away, and we definitely didn’t teach her that, haha!) When the time came for our son to attend daycare, we were so much less anxious leaving him in Kam’s care knowing how much our daughter had already grown with her! Our interactions with other members of the team have also been lovely on the rare occasions Kam was unable to watch our children, and others were able to step in. We strongly recommend Kam and the Blooming Care Network for your children, and hope you have the same beautiful experience we did!”

  • “I just want to say thank you for everything you’ve done for F over the past three years. You both have been such a loving presence in her life. The trust and peace of mind you gave us as parents is something we’ll never forget. You helped shape her curious little mind and loving person she is today. We’ll always be grateful for the kindness and attention you gave her every day.”

  • “Look no longer, Radhika is amazing! She definitely has a calling to work with children. She is so compassionate, loving, energetic, reliable, and flexible, not to mention she is so hip and spunky!

    I knew Radhika was right for us when she took the time to discuss my requests and wishes for my child and she wanted to match my parenting style to the best of her ability. Then we met, and my baby fell right asleep in her arms. She’s magic!

    Radhika greets us with the biggest smile everyday, and my baby girl is always so excited to see her. Radhika and her whole family are like a second family to my daughter. They all play with her and give her so much love.

    —>

  • She made going back to work so easy because she sends me the cutest pictures and texts throughout the day. They are always going outside, walking to the library and park, playing lots of music, reading books, and playing with many toys.

    Besides loving my daughter like her own, what I appreciate most is Radhika’s dependability. She rarely asks for time off, and she doesn’t mind working even when my daughter or she is a little sick. If she does have a conflict, she gives plenty of notice. As a teacher, that is super important to me! Radhika answers texts quickly and doesn’t mind when I might have a question for her at 9 at night. Our timing for drop-offs and pick-ups is always a little different, and she is always so flexible and easy to work with. We love her!”
    -M.S.

  • “Radhika is the perfect childcare provider. Our son always comes home very loved with the best stories and the best crafts! We never worry while he’s there, and Radhika sends updates and pictures throughout the day. We couldn’t recommend her more!”
    -E

  • “Radhika provides excellent care, sends photos of our son throughout the day, always has fun and developmentally appropriate activities, and is great at communicating updates.

    It can be really hard as a parent to know who to trust with your child, and I am so happy we found Radhika! I know my kiddo is in such good hands with her!”
    - M.B.

  • “Our daughter is, in large part, who she is today because of what she gained and learned under the watch of Radhika over the course of two and a half years. Trusting Radhika to care for the most precious creature in our lives was easy. We met her family and quickly saw that she had raised three wonderful children and we knew that our daughter was in good hands. Our child received the love Radhika gave her own children and she was an extremely positive influence during the most impressionable months and early years of our daughter’s life. She was always considerate of our parenting style and reinforced everything that we hoped she would.

    —>

  • One of the most enjoyable part of any day, and a sure-fire way to improve the mood of any tired parent, was the daily sharing of pictures with us. Radhika has an uncanny ability to candidly capture unbelievably wonderful pictures. Many of those have found their way onto our walls.

    In retrospect, the only regret we have is that she couldn’t continue caring for our daughter only because we moved out of state. Saying goodbye was difficult, not only for us, but also for our daughter. While we now have to settle for the occasional video chat, we hope that another child is fortunate enough to gain a little more from what Radhika has to offer. Whether it is good manners, creative spirit, the love of dancing, singing, reading, walks through the neighborhood, or the occasional trip to the pool, zoo, or museum, there would be no shortage of a good time for everyone involved.”
