Notes From Parents
References
The above are some of
the notes I keep in a
portfolio that is available
for review during an
interview.
It is with great regret that we have to leave you as a
provider for our son *******. We think you have
amazing organizational skills for his activities & are
very responsible & caring towards him & the other
children. The only reason we are switching daycare
is because of location, with our recent move. We
have been thoroughly impressed with your daycare
& especially you. We could not have asked for a
better provider in you. You have been blessed with
child loving & teaching skills. We will miss you,
Kadriana & Will very much.

Parents of an infant
We would like to express our gratitude for the special
care you have provided ******. You have provided us
with a sense of easiness during the time ****** was
under your care. Knowing that your child is well
cared for & receiving the love & nurturing necessary
for proper development at such a young age is a
great feeling of comfort for a parent. We also
appreciate the professionalism in which you have
extended towards us, as clients, during these past
few months.

Parents of an infant
Thank you so much for the wonderful job you have
done as ****'s daycare provider this past year! You
have given all of us a stable, loving environment
which has contributed
greatly to the positive
development of both **** & *******. Thank you also
for being so supportive of **** moving on to this next
stage. I know she is going to miss you & the other
kids, but we will definitely be keeping you posted!
I'm so happy that **** is able to continue to stay with
you. From the bottom of my heart.

Parent of infant & preschooler
Thank you so much for taking such great care of
*******. Every time I drop him off, I know that he is in
loving hands. **** & I thank God that we found you.

Parents of an infant
You have gone above & beyond
what you should have
had to for ******. I appreciate
all
you have done. He's still
loves coming to school & he
LOVES you. I will be forever
grateful to you!

Mother of a preschooler
Thanks so much for your care & for providing such
a great environment for the girls. P.S.The
Valentine's projects were great & the presents very
thoughtful. All the best.

Parents of toddlers
Thank you so much for being ******'s teacher this
year. He has enjoyed going to preschool when he
knows your there. Wishing your family a Merry
Christmas & Happy New Year.

Mother of a preschooler
Just wanted to thank you for all you've done for *****
while he was in you class. We went through many
ups & downs while he was 4, but he's so much better
for it. Thanks again for being such a patient, caring
teacher. Good luck to you & your family. You'll be
greatly missed.

Mother of a preschooler
You were by far the best teacher we've had at ******
******* & you will be greatly missed. Thank you so
much for everything you have done to help our girls
learn & grow. We wish you & your family only the
best.

Parents of preschooler & toddler
Thank you so very much for all the extra hugs,
love, & discipline that you gave to ******. We are
really going to miss you. You have "planted seeds"
in ****** and gave him "water"- now God will take
all your hard work & turn ****** into a Godly boy.
Good luck in all you do! Blessings on your new
adventures! One may plant, another may water, but
it is God who brings the harvest. 1Corinthians 3:6

Parents of a preschooler
The purpose of this letter is to provide personal
recommendation as to the teaching, care giving
ability and personal character of Nicole Ross. I speak
as her boss, although I would, as all that worked with
her, consider her a friend. Our experience was
incredibly positive. Her duties included acting as a
lead teacher in our Pre-Kindergarten program,
supervising classroom activities and conduct, and
lesson planning. Nicole always went beyond the call
of duty. She was always cooperative with
administration, respected by staff and loved by the
children, and parents. She would be an asset to any
organization.

Letter of reference from previous employer
You are the best provider I have ever found & also
better than I could have ever imagined. Thank you!

Mother of a preschooler
As we've expressed over time- we couldn't
have asked for a better person and
environment for ******* to spend her days.
You've been a great person to help us
raise ******* and it breaks our hearts to
have to leave.

Mother of a toddler
The hardest thing about our move, is leaving you
and the daycare. We have been so lucky to have
******* in such a loving, caring and nurturing
environment. Thank you so much for all of your
hard work.

Mother of a toddler
We would just like to share how blessed we feel to
have you in our lives as such a great daycare
provider. We hope you enjoy your vacation and
birthdays. And a big thanks for everything!

Parents of a preschooler
First and foremost, we would not be leaving Nicole's
daycare if it weren't for relocating. Nicole Ross has
been an exceptional daycare provider and has
provided our daughter with a safe and nurturing
environment for 9 months. She provides themes for
learning and encourages play, reading, singing and
dancing into the daily activities. *******'s words and
abilities amaze us each day and it is obvious she
has been in the perfect daycare setting. Nicole
communicates with us every day and gives us great
newsletters featuring announcements, birthdays, and
field trips. I have never met a provider who is more
dedicated to her business and who is always looking
for new things to incorporate into the children's
lives. Her love of children is seen through the many
pictures she posts on her website. We would
recommend Nicole and her team (Will, Debby and
Megan) to any parent looking to place their child
into a daycare/pre-school.

Parents of toddler
Wishing you a very Happy Mother's Day! We are
so lucky to have you care for *******- we thank
you so much for all your effort and love you put
into your childcare! ******* is so happy at
daycare and she's so lucky to have you as a
"second" Mom!

Parents of a toddler
I hope you have a wonderful birthday! Enjoy
your vacation, you really deserve the break for
all that you do every day! You are a remarkable
person. I want to thank you for giving me the
opportunity to work with you. It has been a great
experience. I finally have a job that I'm excited
and happy to go to every day and work with such
a great person. Thank you!

Team Member
THANK YOU for the great BBQ with all my
friends! I had so much fun! (so did Mommy &
Daddy!) Thank you for the wonderful DVD of
memories. I like to watch it and show
Mommy all my friends. Thank you, also, for
the Elmo balloon. I have tied it to my car so
when I drive around the house it follows
behind me. I can't thank you enough for all
you do for me and with me. I love you!

From a 2 year old
Words cannot express how thankful we are for
everything that you do. The family picnic was
fun and the CD of ******* was
wonderful and
touching. We appreciate all the time and
effort you both give to the children, and us!

Parents of a toddler
Thank you VERY much for being such a great
person and caregiver for ******. It means the world
to us to know our baby is safe, happy, and loved all
day while we work. I hope you know how much you
are truly appreciated.

Parents of an infant
I can't thank you enough for all you've done for us.
You will
always have a big place in my heart I'm
going to miss you & all my friends!

Love from a toddler 2007
Thank you for everything you do, you mean so
much to us. Hope you have a fabulous Mother's
Day, one very well deserved.
