Meet the Owner

At the heart of Nese Kids Care is our owner, Nese Delibas (pronounced NEH-SHAY), whose lifelong passion for children and family shapes everything we do.

Nese grew up in Turkey in a large, close-knit family where caring for younger siblings, cousins, and neighbors was a natural part of daily life. Those early experiences instilled in her a deep love for nurturing children and a belief that every child thrives when surrounded by joy, patience, and encouragement.

In fact, her name “Nese” means “Joy” in Turkish—a perfect reflection of the warmth and happiness she brings into every classroom and program at Nese Kids Care. Families can feel that spirit of joy throughout our center, from the smiles of our teachers to the laughter of the children.

With years of hands-on childcare experience and a heart dedicated to building safe, welcoming spaces for kids, Nese has made it her mission to create a community where children flourish and parents feel confident in their choice of care.

Nese and Nese Kids Care have also been featured in recent news stories on Fox and KUSI, highlighting the center’s commitment to excellence, innovation, and family-centered programs that stand out in San Diego.
