    I have a family in care right now who I would call "Golden" Mom pays on time (up front even), always comes prepared, thinks of my family as well. Just an all around great family! Kids are so cute too!

    I knew from the moment we interviewed that she would be a great fit for my daycare. We hit it off right away and the interview lasted almost 2 hours. She signed on the spot!

    She's a keeper!

    that's great Jerseygirl ! Parents like that make allllll the difference.
    I have had many wonderful parents in the past . One mom always brought my garbage cans back from the side of the road on garbage day lol. I begged her to stop but she didn't lol.
    This week my whole family got the flu and all the parents were very understanding when I told them I would be closed for 2 days. (2nd time I have had to this in 2 years )

    I have a wonderful parent right now. She genuinely cares not only for her family but cares for mine as well. I have to pack up my entire group of kids to take some to pre k. Once in a while, when my parent is home, she will come and pick up my son and take him for me. So I dont have to pack up all my kids. She also is one of those parents who always pays on time and is happy to communicate anything that is happening at home. So i have some insight as to behaviour at daycare. She also works for a wholesale company. So she gets to purchase stuff at cost. She provides me with some groceries while i provide her with child care on the dates of the sale. She is a real gem. I hope I have her for a long time.

    I have a great parents of 2 of my daycare kids! I knew right away they would be great, they always pay me on time, more often in advance. She will meet me up at the school if its a super cold day out so that I dont have to walk everyone in the cold. And quite often (I love this) if shes out and about early, she'll get me a Tims on her way to my house in the morning.... I mean really, whats not to love about that!! LOL! Her kids are great and if she or her husband are home early, they come get their kids. She insists on paying me even for days where I have told her she doesnt have to (ie if I need a day to do something with my own kids for school). Really, they are great!

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
Updates
We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
