The Friendly Face of Little Sunshine Wedding & Event Childcare Services
Ariel Loftis
Owner | Childcare Professional
Hi, I'm Ariel.
My journey into childcare wasn’t exactly traditional. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice, but after stepping into the real world, I quickly realized my true passion was working with children.
For over 10 years, I’ve worked in childcare and have gained experience in many different roles along the way. No matter where life has taken me, childcare has always held a special place in my heart. There’s something incredibly rewarding about creating safe, fun, and nurturing spaces where children can feel comfortable, supported, and truly enjoy themselves.
One of the things I love most is building meaningful connections with families and watching children learn, grow, and shine in their own unique ways. Children have a beautiful way of teaching us just as much as we teach them, and I’m constantly inspired by their creativity, joy, and resilience.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling, scuba diving, and relaxing at the beach. These experiences bring me joy and help me stay grounded, refreshed, and inspired in both life and work. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to serve families and be part of life’s most special moments.
