Childcare provider: Joy
I obtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:
"We started Joy when my son was about 10 months. It was a challenge in the beginning because my son is very sensitive to new environments. I look back and Joy was so patient and caring and trusting towards my son. She is an excellent child provider. I have used other child care providers for my older two children and I wish I knew of Joy when they were growing up. She really cares for the kids. I also believe that my son learnt quite a bit from Joy. Joy provides excellent care but she also teaches the kids the alphabet, sounds, letters, numbers, etc... I can't believe how much my two year old knows and I attribute a lot of that to Joy. Joy also teaches them independence. My son's favourite words now are 'I do it!' Joy gives an amazing headstart to school! I highly recommend her!!"

"Joy is currently taking care of our 21/2 years old daughter. We cannot say enough nice things about Joy. It is the best daycare place of its kind. Our daughter loves going there and it is obvious that Joy is dedicated to run the place in a way so that it is a very welcoming, safe and friendly, while at the same time stimulating and educating environment for the kids. We highly appreciate Joy’s honesty and genuine care for the wellbeing of the children in all aspects: health, development, and behavior. Joy is a very gentle, kind, warm, caring and incredibly patient person. Joy is a clear communicator and provide very enriching for kids to learn and play. With all this, we feel completely comfortable and relaxed dropping off our daugher there every day knowing that she receives the wholesome care that Joy has to offer. We will always be thankful for all the things Joy has done."

"Dear Parent,
My wife and I had the pleasure of leaving our 1 year old son, Piro, with Joy Massey from September 2009 to July 2010.
Joy is a loving, caring, nurturing person and is simply a fantastic caregiver. She was always sensitive to both Piro’s and our needs and went out of her way to make our son feel and happy in her home.
An example of this is how she took the time, care, and effort to attend to Piro’s frequent skin rashes (eczema). She conscientiously applied prescription medication and creams to our son’s arms, legs, face and bottom whenever she saw redness or when he felt itchy. We did not have to repeatedly ask her or remind her to do this – she did it on her own out of caring. She also helped us rule out what might be the cause of the eczema by keeping a diary of everything she fed Piro to rule out possible food allergens.
Most times during Piro’s stay with Joy, he was both a happy and healthy child, but there were two occasions where he fell ill. It was during these times that we felt even more relieved and grateful to have Joy taking care of Piro.
At one point, our son developed an eye infection and needed eye drops administered 4 times a day for a full week after the infection had cleared. Together my wife and I would struggle to put them into Piro’s eyes as he squirmed and screamed, but Joy managed to do it alone without any difficulty whatsoever. Joe to the rescue!
Several months later, Joy noticed Piro wasn’t his normal happy self and diagnosed that he was sick with fever. She called us immediately to let us know.
These are but a few of many examples of how capable and caring Joy has been to our son – and will be to yours.
If you are considering leaving your child in Joy’s care – don’t hesitate – she’s AWESOME!
Thank you,
Sameer, Tanja, & Piro"

"Joy is currently taking care of our 14 month old son and I couldn't be happier with her care. The pride she takes in her job is evident in how happy he has been since being with her. I have been able to return to work with peace of mind. She is not just a babysitter but a 'care provider.'
Thanks for everything Joy!"

"My daughter and son were at Joy's previous daycare for about 1 1/2 years. Joy is a very gentle and patient person and wonderful with children. She is a great cook who makes healthy meals and sometimes involves the children in the preparation.
Joy is also a very cheerful person and a great coach for children's development - like potty-training! She also helps the children to learn to cooperate and communicate with each other.
Your children will love it at her house."
