The Story Behind Little Roots

A thoughtful approach to childcare in Ibiza, built on trust, presence and genuine respect for every child.

Childcare Guided by Respect and Presence

Little Roots was created with a simple idea: childcare should feel calm, personal and deeply respectful of each child.

After years of working with families travelling to Ibiza, we saw the need for a more thoughtful approach — one that combines professionalism with warmth, structure with flexibility, and genuine attention to every child.

Our nannies are carefully selected not only for their experience, but for their ability to connect with children in a calm, natural and respectful way.

Our Method

At Little Roots, our approach is inspired by Montessori and Reggio Emilia. Therefore, we combine structure and freedom to create a balanced and natural way of caring for each child.

Clear routines and gentle guidance help children feel safe, calm and confident in their daily life. As a result, they understand what to expect and move through the day with ease.

At the same time, play, creativity and exploration allow them to express themselves, build confidence and develop at their own pace.

Our nannies do not follow a rigid method. Instead, they adapt to each child, respecting their rhythm, personality and needs.

"This philosophy is not only a concept, but something lived every day by the people behind Little Roots"

Meet the Founder of Little Roots

Little Roots was created by Jesica Janet Riga, driven by a simple belief: childcare should feel calm, respectful and attentive to each child.

Her approach is shaped by years of experience with families and by educational perspectives such as Montessori and Reggio Emilia, focusing on respect, independence and meaningful learning through play.

For her, caring for children goes beyond supervision. It means creating an environment where they feel safe, listened to and free to explore at their own pace.

That vision led to the creation of Little Roots, a boutique childcare agency designed to offer families in Ibiza a thoughtful and trustworthy service.

Children need presence, calm and attention. When they feel safe and understood, everything else follows naturally.

At Little Roots, every nanny is carefully selected, trained and evaluated through our own methodology, designed to ensure a consistent and high standard of care.
