Meet Dawn

    I have been babysitting for 10+ years, from newborn to pre-school age, in my home. All the babies and children have my constant attention with loving care. We have lots of fun learning ABC's, numbers and colors through games, puzzles and reading books. We have lots of play time, lunch and naps, if needed. I usually watch no more then three children at a time, with lots and lots of love and care.

Ms. Dawn started care for my son at the age of 6 weeks old until the age of 5 1/2 months. I wish it could have been longer but due to being a military mom, I got orders to another state. I have been interviewing for a new sitter and hold Dawn as my standard. I only hope that the person who cares for my son can be as sweet, gentle, loving, trustworthy and responsible as Ms. Dawn. Dawn was very accommodating to my schedule and needs, and I recommend her with high praises. Thank you Dawn for loving my child like I would.

Dawn watched my children who were one and two and a half for several days a week for months. She was very flexible in hours for our changing schedule and our kids enjoyed their time with her very much. A very nice lady!

Ms. Dawn has been watching my 16-month-old son since he was 12 months old, and it is evident that he likes her very much. Though he still doesn't talk, he smiles, laughs, and claps when we pull into her drive, and he runs up to her door. Mrs. Dawn is gentle and kind, but calm and firm when my son or the other children need reminding of the rules. I trust her completely with my son, and will be bringing my daughter to her during the summer, as well. Your child will be nurtured and cared for in a safe, loving environment at Mrs. Dawn's house. She is wonderful!

Our family highly recommend Dawn. Our children are 4 and 6. She has been providing childcare for us on as needed bases. Children come home happy and quite. Every time we tell them they are going to spend day with Dawn, they are excited about it and very much looking forward to her peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. We are military family. So when our family posts high recommendation for a child care provider, we know what we are talking about. I hope you find this helpful.

Ms. Dawn cared for my 2 year old child for a little over 2 months. She was a great asset to my child's learning. He came home with an increased vocabulary. She is also willing to work with anyone on hours. She has taken my child before sunrise and I have picked him up hours after the sun has set. I would recommend her to anyone in need of an excellent babysitter. I appreciated all that she did for my child and me.
