Meet the Mom Behind Paradise Playdates
I’m Rashelle, a Naples native and the heart behind Paradise Playdates. I’m passionate about creating fun, meaningful experiences where children can play, explore, and build lasting friendships—while parents connect and feel part of a supportive community.
With a background in substitute teaching, dance instruction, and nannying—and now as a mom to an active toddler with another little one on the way—I truly understand how important it is to find enriching, joyful spaces for our kids.
At Paradise Playdates, I believe children learn best through play, creativity, and connection. My goal is to create events that spark imagination, encourage confidence, and bring families together in a relaxed, welcoming environment.
I can’t wait to meet you and your little ones at our next playdate!
More Than a Playdate!
The heart behind Paradise Playdates is to create local events that are just as fun and unique as your children.
At each event, I design engaging experiences filled with games, crafts, and themed activities that spark creativity and joy. At the same time, I intentionally create opportunities for parents to connect, build friendships, and grow their village in a relaxed, welcoming environment.
It’s all about bringing families together, creating meaningful moments, and making childhood a little more magical.
Fun for Kids. Connection for Parents.
These events are designed to be a wonderful opportunity for parents to connect with their children through new and creative experiences. Families will have the chance to explore their city by visiting local parks, while also building meaningful friendships with others who are navigating the journey of parenthood.
