Some of them have been writing to me for twenty years.
These are unedited, in the families’ own words. A few were written by parents whose children are now adults.
Lisa is more than a “provider”, she is like family. Both of my girls have been going to “Auntie’s” since they were 4 months old. It is so nice to drop them off and not have a worry in the world the rest of the day. She exposes them to so many amazing things and turns every opportunity into learning. From trail walks, picnics, field trips, pedicures, Elsa braids, and music class — we couldn’t ask for more. She loves every child as if they were her own.
Dropping your child off is always difficult, but when you are leaving them in the care of someone like Lisa Doyon you feel reassured knowing your child is in great hands. Lisa has had a lasting impression and a positive impact on my daughter — in fact they still keep in touch to this day, 22 years later. When I met Lisa we instantly clicked. She was the first and only interview needed for me to make the decision to leave my baby in her care.
My son started at Lisa’s daycare when he was 1. It was the best decision we ever made! She treated him like he was her own son. He learned so many things under her care — field trips, gym classes, and music classes. She helped shape him into the fine young 17-year-old man he is today. I hope she is still working when I have grandchildren.

Lisa is very compassionate, caring, gentle, and has a heart of gold. She devotes her time and energy into her kids by engaging with each one individually to help them develop in their own way. She is truly attentive to each child’s needs and gives them that gentle push they might need to learn a new skill. With the variety of ages, it allows the younger children to look up to the older ones.
Our son started at Lisa’s Family Daycare one year ago at age two and a half — boy did we miss out on those first two years. She is the most wonderful and caring person. I remember hanging up the phone the first time we spoke and saying to my husband “I love her!” Our son has blossomed in one year and she is the reason. Lisa is more than a child care provider, she is family. I would not trust anyone else with the care of my child.

I highly recommend Lisa’s Family Daycare. Our son started going to Lisa when he was three months old. Now at 9 months, we could not be happier with our choice. The way our son smiles and reaches for Lisa when he sees her says it all. She clearly puts a lot of love and attention into making a warm, safe, clean and fun environment. We are grateful every day that our little one is taken care of by “Auntie” Lisa.

When I found Lisa, I stopped looking for any other alternatives to childcare. I had to continue to work after I had my children, so I couldn’t stay home with my babies — but if anyone was going to ease my angst about leaving the care and wellbeing of my children, it was Lisa. Once I met her, I knew she was the one. She always treated all three of my children like her own, while being mindful of what their father and I valued.
Lisa came highly recommended by family members who had allowed Lisa to care for their three children over the course of a few years. I remember meeting her for the first time before our daughter was born and realized then that our daughter would always be in good, loving hands. Lisa has love for all of the children equally, she celebrates every birthday and major holiday, and our daughter often comes home with crafts or gifts for the parents.

We are so grateful Lisa cared for our children when they were young. We always felt very comfortable with her. She always treated them like her own family, fed them well and taught them a lot. Our children were always happy when we picked them up, and always happy to go back to Lisa’s.

Best caregiver you could ever ask for. Lisa was practically my second mother. Now being 22 years old and still having contact with her shows how loving and caring of a person she is. I will always look back at my daycare days with Lisa and smile — they were some of the best and brightest days of my childhood. There is no doubt in my mind that when I have children they will also be in her care.
How do you put into words a description of someone who rescued you and your children on more than one occasion, someone who prayed for you, someone who gave you peace of mind, taught your children, and went the extra mile to nurture and love them as their day-time mom?
