I wanted to give 5 stars, but Yep would not allow me to - it should be 5 stars!!!!!Now - on to my review....Diana is absolutely amazing!  We are first time parents and the thought of sending our 16 week old to daycare was nerve-wracking, to say the least.  We met with a few different providers, and in the end felt an instant connection with Diana and did not hesitate choosing her for our childcare needs.  The daycare is small and intimate, with only 3 children total.  We receive updates all day long via e-mail and it is so nice to feel connected to our daughter even when apart.  She reports statuses on eating, diaper changes, nap times, and even sends a couple pictures of our daughter playing every single day.Diana definitely spends a lot of one-on-one time with each child and pays close attention to any and all changes in behavior patterns, eating patterns, and even diaper rashes, bumps, bruises, etc.  She engages them all day from playing games, to practicing milestones such as sitting, stretching for crawling, eye/hand coordination, and much, much more.In addition, Diana is committed to following your schedule if you have one.  We have a consistent feeding and napping schedule and Diana is happy to work with us, while ensuring the schedule is modified when needed to ensure our daughter is getting what she needs.  Lastly, on a personal note, Diana is just a pleasure to work with.  She always has a smile on her face, is willing to take time to answer any questions and talk about the day, and just provide support as we navigate being first time parents and working full-time.  We cannot say enough about her and how she treats our daughter.  Diana has become a critical component to our family and we cannot imagine not having her take care of our child.

My son starting coming to Diana at Nana's Daycare when he was just 12 weeks old.  He had been a fussy baby and needless to say, the first 3 months of his life were pretty exhausting for his father and me.  I was worried about leaving him with someone new, and thought for sure she would turn him back in to me at the end of the first week with a "dear john" letter.  Instead, she cared for him like a pro and he absolutely loves Diana!!  Since it's a smaller daycare, my little one gets lots of personal attention and I love that he now has a strong relationship with Diana.  Overall, I think Diana does a great job keeping the infants she cares for well occupied - from tummy time, to mirror time, to puppet time, she gives them lots of variety so they never get bored.  I also love that she has a mobile app that she uses to send me updates throughout the day.  I can see when my son has eaten, slept, and played.  She even sends cute photos of him each day so I feel a part of his day.  We are so incredibly glad to have found Diana at Nana's Daycare and highly recommend her to other parents!
