"Dianne Hummert was truly a lucky find.  Upon the birth of our first daughter we had arrangements for daycare which quickly fell apart. So in a desperate search through the Pinellas County system we came upon Dianne (Dee-Dee).

Armed with a battery of questions, we met with her and immediately knew she was "the one" we were hoping for.  If I couldn't be home with my babies during the day I certainly was at ease with Dianne caring for my girls.  She is beyond competent, enthusiastic about caring for each and every child enlisted in her care.  She provides a stimulating, caring and well organized program.  My eldest daughter was with her from 10 weeks to 3 years and upon moving her to a preschool setting she was far advanced in comparison to the other children in her class.  Dianne spends time with each child doing age appropriate games and activities, and best of all is always eager to share your child's day with you.  Information is free flowing so you never feel unsure about how your child is spending the day.

My girls are now five and six years old and still love to go spend a day with Dee-Dee.  Rest assured you will have no second thoughts when leaving your child(ren) in Dianne's care."

"We are so pleased to have found Dianne and her home.  She has changed our lives in the short time we've known her.  She has the kindest and gentlest heart and we are happy she is a part of our family."

"Her greatness is in the smallest gestures and genuine thoughtfulness.  We are excited to see what new things DeeDee has found for her daycare everyday.  There have been new toys, new books, and even the children's own art supply boxes.  We love the artwork our son comes home with.  And the best part are the pictures she takes and sends to us during the day.  We know he is safe and having fun while learning."

"DeeDee is our treasure!"

Love,

"You know when you drop your non-talking toddler off to childcare and they don't ignore you right when they get there and when you go get them they don't want to leave you found the right person! This is my second time around with Dianne she filled in for my full time childcare provider awhile back for a week with my oldest and she actually stood out when I was looking for my second. We love Dianne she goes above and beyond, how many childcare providers actually have a website?"

"I have known Dianne (DeeDee) for many years as our sons played sports together.  She is a very sweet, loving and caring person.  I was so excited to find that Dianne had an opening when I was pregnant with my daughter.  I knew my daughter would be in the best of care.  Some days at work, I would be extremely busy and stressed and I would receive unexpected, wonderful emails from Dianne with attached pictures of my daughter.  Those emails put many smiles on my face!  I would recommend Dianne to every concerned, loving parent. "

"Dianne has been great.  I have always been able to count on her.  She is very helpful as well as supportive of children and parent needs.  My husband and I are in the military so finding someone we could trust without knowing the person was a very hard obstacle to overcome; however finding Dianne made this an easy obstacle to adjust to for the two of us so that we could focus on our careers without worrying about our child's safety.  She has always been very flexible without complaint, which means a lot considering the high expectations of our military obligations.  I know my little angle is safe and I have DEE DEE to thank for that."

"Dianne is wonderful person with a big heart. She loves the children she
cares for and the children love her! Our daughter smiles and gets
excited EVERY time she sees Dianne. My husband and I have a peace of
mind dropping off our child every morning knowing she is in the best of
care. Dianne's daycare is clean, safe, and filled with love. She does a
terrific job keeping our daughter on a regular schedule and is easy to
communicate with.


Dianne creates a fun environment for our child to learn and explore. She
has lots of toys and books and encourages outside play and music time.
My favorite activity Dianne does is finger painting, which is great for
developing fine motor skills and hand eye coordination.  Where most
daycare providers wouldn't want to tackle children and paint, Dianne
embraces the idea and encourages the children to learn and explore and
have lots of fun doing it! It brightens my day every time I see the
lovely masterpieces my daughter has created with Dianne.


My husband and I also enjoy the pictures Dianne emails us. It is nice to
be able to see our daughter experience things for the first time like
walking or trying new foods. It definitely helps us feel like we are not
missing out on as much.


My husband and I truly feel blessed to have found Dianne. In a few
months we will be moving and I don't know what we are going to do
without her. I don't think anyone can compare.  Dianne truly has a gift
with children! She will be deeply missed. "


"I highly recommend Dianne without any reservation. "

My husband and I are so grateful to have found Dianne!  She takes such great care of our son and the communication she provides is unmatched.  Our son looks forward to seeing her every morning and dances with a big grin as we walk up to the door.  Dianne has made the transition from staying home to going back to work easier than I could have imagined.  She provides the kids with a safe, clean environment but has activities and toys to help them develop.  My son did his first artwork at six months old!  I am amazed with her level of professionalism and the care that my son receives.   I get picture messages almost everyday so I can see what my little guy is doing.  She sets a foundation for behavior but understands the kids are young so she has patients and does not yell, or use time out.  I notice a big difference in my son compared to other kids his age.  My son is happy no matter what time I come and pick him up, and Dianne always has a smile on her face.  Anyone could tell she truely loves the kids.  We feel blessed to have our son in her care and hope that when the next baby comes around we will be fortunate enough to have him/her in Dianne's daycare.    Dianne thanks for all that you do for our family.  We are so lucky to have you!        Love,    The Langrocks To whom It May concen, My daughter Danica was in the care of Dianne Hummert from March 2009-August 2009. I Highly recommend Dianne for child care services. While in the care of Dianne I felt safe with dropping my daughter off in the mornings and picking up in the evenings. I especially loved how Dianne would take the time with the children to color, paint and take pictures with the children, I felt sometimes like Danica was right by my side with the pictues I would recieve during the day.

Dianne is really great with my daughter.  My daughter just loves her.  Some days when I pick her up I have to pry her away.  Dianne is very creative with the children.  I am always getting pictures that my daughter has colored, painted, ect..  She has parties for the Holidays with the children which is great.  I feel like she cares for her like she is her own and it makes me feel great that I don't have to worry about my daughter while I am at work.  I could not be happier.  She is worth it.  I don't know who is more attached my daughter or me.

We are so lucky to have found Dianne to care for our little angel!  I was so apprehensive about having to leave my baby in someone else's hands when I returned to work, but Dianne is so warm, caring and professional, I can work knowing she is being well cared for.  Dianne is truly passionate about her job, and it shows in everything she does.  We especially love getting pictures and texts throughout the day updating us on how our baby is doing!  I feel connected to her all day, and I am confident that our daughter is not only being taken care of, but loved deeply too!  Dianne bubbles over with enthusiasm and can't wait to share the details of the day with me.  I can tell our daughter loves Dianne, she always reaches out for her with a big smile.  She is excited to be with her, and there's no better feeling than to know that your child is being loved all day long!    It is a privilege to know Dianne, and I don't know what I'd do without her - she is one of a kind!

To Whome it May Concern,

Our daycare provider, Dianne Hummert, is a delightful lady who has cared for our daughter from age 2 1/2 months to 9 1/2 months.

Dianne is not your usual sitter. Our child does not endlessly sit for hours in front of the television while in her care. She goes to the extra effort to have educational materials, Books and plethora of toys that our child enjoys.

In addition, Ms. Hummert shares her love of music with the children. Sometimes they all sit quietly and listen to music. On other occasions you can find them dancing to their favorite songs.

Often my husband and I return to find drawings or paintings that our child has made with Dianne's patient assistance.

We have found her unselfish and diligent care of our child a true blessing and confidently recommend her to you as a sitter.

Sincerely,

Alyssa Petterson and Eugene Cappulluti
