Paradise family Childcare

I wish there was a way to rate higher than 5 stars because Paradise Family Childcare deserves it!
When my daughter was born we tried nannies and nanny shares, which turned out to be expensive, inconsistent, and fraught with drama — pretty much the last things you want when you have a newborn!
Then we found Sedi and our new young family clicked into place. We didn’t just find reliable, affordable child care, we found family.
Sedi is kind, caring and more than competent with years of pre-​school education and childcare/​daycare experience. She plays with the kids; she seeks out educational toys, books and activities; she keeps the kids actively playing and moving around outside as much as possible.
She is flexible and accommodating in terms of schedules, and is always available to provide extra help when we need it. She’s willing to let my daughter stay late, even overnight, in a pinch.
I’m not exaggerating when I say that Sedi has helped raise my daughter. She’s helped us reach milestones in terms of weening off the bottle, potty training, sleep training, and establishing good eating habits — she’s actually probably done better with some of that than my wife and me!
Like many of us in the Bay Area, we are transplants and don’t have parents/​in-​laws close to help. Sedi has filled that void and then some. She really is a part of our family.

Marrying my husband and having our daughter is the best thing that ever happened to me.
The second best thing is finding Paradise Family Day care and meeting Sedi Hashemi.
Sedi has become a second mother to our little girl. Jane started at Sedi’s when she was 6 months old and has grown up there these past three years.
I trust Sedi absolutely and as first time parents, she helped guide my husband and me thru all the major milestones, e.g., switching to solid foods, crawling to walking to running, weaning off the bottle, and, the latest major one (and the hardest) potty training.
Sedi is a fairy godmother for parents: 110% reliable, so accommodating (Jane stays the weekends with her when we go out of town), sweet, funny, active, and a terrific cook.
Jane starts pre-​school next week but we will continue to see Sedi because she is now as much a part of our family as we have become to her and her delightful husband and mother.
Her clean, sunny home and large backyard are near a park where Sedi often takes the kids. Sedi is a natural caregiver and takes excellent care of the babies and toddlers. We just love her.
