From the Lindsay Family, June 1, 2011

Jo Ann Rehhaut has been a reliable child care provider for our family for the past year and a half. She has been so thoughtful and caring throughout our whole experience. We feel very fortunate to have found such a nice, honest, down to earth couple to take care of our son full-time. She has been flexible with our schedules when needed and never complains (even when I know our son can be a handful!). Her home is always so clean and nicely decorated for every holiday. We strongly recommend Jo Ann as your child care provider.

Sincerely,

The Lindsay Family

Oh and her cookies are really good too! What more can you ask for!

To Whom it may concern:

JoAnn Martin is a diamond in the rough. We feel we were so lucky to find JoAnn. Every morning when Owen is dropped off she welcomes us with open arms. Even at such an early hour JoAnn is ready and waiting for Owen to play. Owen loves going to JoAnn's. When we pull up to her house, Owen starts clapping and shouting "yaaaaay"! There are times he kicks us out so he can sart playing faster! Often, when we arrive to pick him up, he doesn't want to leave. He has so much fun and loves being with JoAnn so much that he has cried in the past when it was time to go home. Owen runs around the house shouting "Nan Nan", which we believe is him asking for JoAnn.

Not only does JoAnn supply toys, books, and movies essential to Owen's development, there has never been a day we have picked up Owen that we suspected that he was hungry. We have witnessed JoAnn feeding Owen fresh fruit, water, juice, and milk. JoAnn has followed any and all instructions that we have ever provided in regard to our son. She makes sure Owen's diapers are clean and dry and has even offered to assist us when we decide to potty train him.

She is truly the most dedicated childcare provider we have ever met. The best part of all is how much our son loves JoAnn and how apparent it is that she in turn loves him just as much. We wouldn't take our son anywhere else and we plan on bringing our next child to her as well.

JoAnn is the perfect daycare!

JoAnn took care of our son Dylan. He started going to her when he was a little over a year old and now he is two. She has been taking care of him for almost a year. JoAnn made the perfect breakfast for Dylan (he loves pancakes and eggs). She also gave him great lunches and snacks. Sometimes we were late picking Dylan up and she would make sure he did not go hungry.

My husband and I really liked how clean and safe JoAnn's house was and the toys were in good shape and clean. She played with Dylan, rocked him in the rocking chair and read to him. Dylan loved her. He was always excited to see her when we took him over. She paid a lot of attention to him. That was important to us.

I really realized how wonderful JoAnn was with Dylan because when she gave me notice I found another daycare and Dylan is having a really hard time. He always cries for JoAnn when I drop him off, and he acts sad. I actually have Dylan with JoAnn for a couple of days on her last week just to make Dylan happy. Hopefully I can find someone as good as JoAnn but so far I haven't.

My husband and I are really sad that JoAnn is moving and if she was to ever come back we would drop the person we have now and put Dylan right back in her care. We wish she was not leaving. This is a big loss for us. But we want JoAnn to be happy and wish her well.

Any child that goes to JoAnn's is going to be well-loved and well taken care of.

Thank you for everything JoAnn!!!

JoAnn Martin has been my daycare provider for the last ten years.

Even though she has moved to Plumas Lake, and I live and work in Sacramento, I still continue to bring both of my kids to her.

JoAnn has been great with my family from the first day. She follows my routine that I have set for my kids. She keeps a very watchful eye on them to keep them very safe.

I have a lot of confidence in JoAnn in taking care of my kids and that is why I continue to use her today.

Our past daycare provider, JoAnn Martin, is a delightful woman who cared for our daughter for almost 4 years, from 7 weeks old to 3 and a half years old.

JoAnn (Tia as my daughter calls her) was a God-sent to us while we had to work. Our daughter did not endlessly sit in front of the television while in her care. She went to extra efforts to have daily activities for the children to enjoy. She provided healthy meals and snacks for our daughter, and went the extra mile in helping with the strict diet of our daughter. She provides a save environment for children of all ages.

Our daughter loves Tia, and misses going to her house. If we lived closer to Joann (Tia) we would be lucky to have a spot at her daycare. We confidently recommend her to you as a daycare provider.
