Dear Future Families

To the family who finds Shining Starrs Mobile Childcare,

I hope you know this first: your child deserves to feel safe, seen, celebrated, and deeply cared for — and so do you.

I know how hard it can be to trust someone with the little person who means everything to you. Childcare is never “just childcare.” It’s handing over your routines, your trust, your tiny inside jokes, your child’s favorite snack cup, their bedtime song, their big feelings, and the pieces of your heart that walk around outside your body every day.

That’s something I don’t take lightly.

When I created Shining Starrs Mobile Childcare, I didn’t just want to “watch kids.” I wanted to become the kind of safe adult children remember forever — the calm voice during hard moments, the person who listens to their stories all the way through, the caregiver who notices when they’re quiet, overstimulated, excited, proud, nervous, or simply needing a little extra love that day.

I want your child to feel comfortable enough to laugh loudly, ask questions, explore, create, rest, regulate, and simply be themselves.

And I want you to exhale.

I want you to know that when you leave for work, date night, rest, errands, travel, or simply a moment to breathe, your child is with someone who genuinely cares about their emotional well-being — not just keeping them occupied.

At Shining Starrs, care looks like:

• dance parties in the living room

• gentle redirection instead of shame

• reading books with silly voices

• helping children name their feelings

• cuddles after hard moments

• structure without harshness

• patience, warmth, and play

• identity-affirming care for ALL families

I know every family is different. Every child is different. And I never want families to feel judged for needing support. Parenting is beautiful, exhausting, emotional, joyful, overwhelming, funny, and real all at once.

You were never meant to do it alone.

So whether you need full-time care, part-time support, a helping hand during a busy season, overnight care, or simply someone trustworthy in your village — thank you for even considering me.

I truly hope your family feels the heart behind this work.

With love,
Jasmine
