Our Story

Courtney Davis, Owner

Courtney Davis is from Virginia Beach, Virginia, however, her father’s navy career kept their family on the move early in her life. Courtney understands the challenges (and incredible joys!) of parenthood and has focused on providing childcare support to the families in her community. Courtney created A Helping Hand with the intentions of providing a personalized, professional, and extraordinary experience for families seeking in home childcare. In 2008, A Helping Hand was born in Virginia Beach, and in 2011, she took her company across the US and opened a branch in San Diego, California. Courtney employs a management team of insanely amazing, resilient, and hard-working women to represent A Helping Hand from coast to coast. In addition to her bad to the bone management team, A Helping Hand has around 75 Helpers who provide our daily childcare services to our incredibly deserving families. In 2010, A Helping Hand created our Onsite Event Childcare Service to help make adult only events, family friendly! This service grew from locally, to regionally, to nationally, to globally! A Helping Hand was Courtney’s first “baby” until her 3 sons Ethan, Grayson, and Jaxon blessed her life and family.
