It has been an absolute pleasure having Joy in my home for the past four months caring for my twin boys. She began working for me the first night my babies came home, and I plan to keep her as long as she will stay.

Joy’s qualifications to provide “nurturing infant care” are exceptional. She arrives focused, attentive, and genuinely interested in meeting your needs, and always has a smile on her face. Joy is very knowledgeable about babies and needs no instruction. She is proactive an often attends to matters before you have a chance to ask. Aside from caring for my babies physical needs she engages them individually and aids them in interacting with one another. It seems they always receive the ideal amount of attention. She also understands and respects the ways in which I choose to parent and truly desires to follow my lead.

Joy takes on the challenge of the twins with such enthusiasm and creativity, which helps me get through each day by expanding my vision of how to care for them. I feel as though I’ve been truly touched by an angel!

Joy is wonderful…she has a wealth of experience in caring for newborns and has the perfect demeanor to soothe both a crying baby and anxious new parents.

…Joy was an incredible caretaker for my children, especially my youngest child, Casey…She nurtured him and gave him the direction and guidance he needed. I trust her implicitly.

Kenneth P. Slaught
President

Joy is what I consider a model nanny. Her patience with children is unparalleled…and her presence commands respect….she intuitively adapted to our way of doing things. She is very affectionate with the children, and indeed became part of the family. What I like best about Joy is that she is not just a babysitter, she is also a teacher.

Debbie Boren
Employer

Joy Cayton was one of the best nannies we have ever had! She is extremely reliable, responsible and trustworthy. Joy was always on time and never missed a day of work.
