Find experienced child care providers in Augusta, MI

Hello, my name is Dawn. I am 56 years young, married & a homemaker. I have a successful, 23 year old son & a wonderful husband. I have been babysitting children of all ages since I was 14 years old, from infants to pretweens, in addition to the experience of raising my own child full time. When he was old enough, neighboring & school friends would come over to our house, at which point I would then become the official babysitter for them. For the last 1-1/2 years, I have been babysitting a beautiful, intelligent 10 y/o girl, M-F every morning before school. I then drop her off at school & wait to make sure she is safely inside before I leave. Previous to this job, I was simultaneously a part time nanny to an adorable 16 month old little boy 2 days a week for 2 years, as well as a part time nanny 2 other week days to a sweet 3 y/o little guy & his 1 y/o adorable baby sister for 6 months. I love all my kids, and treat them as if they were my own. It always amazes me how little it takes to put a lot of joy in a child's day. I can provide that, as well as so much more. Every smile a child gives me puts joy in MY day. I took a baby care class at Bronson which included choking, bed, house & car safety. I am CPR & First Aid certified. I am loving, caring, reliable, patient, honest & trustworthy. I will follow your every instruction to the letter. I will help you in any way I can if the opportunity arises or your little one is napping. I never take my eyes off of my kids. Even when they are napping, I check on them regularly to make sure they are safe. I would be honored, if given the opportunity to care for your little one. I am vigilant, loving & respectful. You can rest assured they will be left in the most diligent, reliable, loving and caring hands possible. I exemplify manners & respect. I will guide & encourage him or her through their next steps in the growth process, whatever those may be. Last but not least, my own rules: NO electronics on kid time! I am not on social media of any kind. No one texts me on a regular basis. No visitors! Never answer the door! Doors always locked! I will always have my phone close by in case you call me or I need to call you or in case of emergency. Thank you for your consideration. I wish you the best of luck in your search! Respectfully, Dawn JH

I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy spending time with children, helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment. Every child has a unique personality, and it’s rewarding to build connections with them and see their confidence and creativity develop. I find joy in creating engaging activities and making sure kids feel cared for and supported. I have experience working as a camp counselor, where I was responsible for supervising and engaging up to five children at a time, ranging from ages 2 to 14. In this role, I organized activities, ensured safety, and provided guidance tailored to each age group. This experience taught me how to manage different personalities and needs, keep children entertained, and maintain a positive and safe environment. I am CPR and First Aid certified, which means I am trained to handle emergency situations and provide immediate care if needed. I have strong skills in communication, patience, problem-solving, and multitasking. My background as a camp counselor gave me valuable skills in activity planning, behavior management, and conflict resolution, all while fostering a fun and nurturing atmosphere for children.
