Meet the Founder

Proud mom of 4+2 bonus kids from Phoenix, AZ. My favorite thing in the world is being a mom and getting to raise cool humans. I became a stay-at-home mom over 10 years ago. Over the years of managing the rhythms of a busy household, I realized how deeply families crave an alternative to institutional childcare.

I originally envisioned Local Littles it was going to be an in-home daycare. My vision was to create an intentional, small-batch child care experience right here in our community. Anchored around our daily rhythms, I lean into my deep, real-world experience to provide your little ones with a calm, nurturing, and sensory-rich space where they can naturally grow and thrive.

However, the universe had other plans, and that vision quickly evolved into taking that vision out into the wild. Having raised my own kiddos, I understand both the amazing beauty of developmental milestones and the sometimes logistical nightmare and anxiety of traveling or attending events with young kids. My passion is designing thoughtful spaces where children feel safe, seen, and entertained, giving you complete peace of mind to be fully present in your day.
