THE HEART OF OUR LITTLE NEST

Hi, I’m Scarlet.

Welcome to El Nidito — “the little nest.” My home-based daycare is a place for little ones to feel safe, seen, and loved.

With a small group of up to six children, I get to know each child’s unique personality and meet them right where they are. From homemade meals to bilingual moments, care here feels personal — because it is.
