Dawn J.

Hello, my name is Dawn. I am 57 years young, married & a homemaker. I have a successful, 25 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. In June, I completed a 2-1/2 year job, babysitting a beautiful, intelligent 9 y/o girl, (now 12) M-F every morning before school. I then dropped her off at school & waited to make sure she was safely inside before I left. I simultaneously started a new job for a precious 3 month old girl. Her mom was hesitant to hire anyone, regardless that she worked from home. I am now the only care giver she will allow. Prior to these jobs, I was a part time nanny to an adorable 16 month old boy, 2+ days a week for 2 years. I was also a part time nanny 2 other week days to a 3 yr old little guy & his 1 yr old baby sister for 6 months. I love all my kids, and treat them as if they were my own. It takes very little to make a child smile. However, my mission is to make both children & parents feel loved, safe & extremely happy. 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 when 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(s). I am vigilant, loving & respectful. You can rest assured they will be left in the most diligent, reliable, 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

Hi, my name is Marissa, and I would love to tell you a little about myself. I am a huge animal lover, I love reading, swimming, and spending time with my family. I have been taking care of children since I was 16 years old. Some of the positions I've had were being a babysitter, a nanny, a mother's helper, and a daycare assistant. I am currently working on getting my Associate's Degree in Early Childhood Education. I have also taken many classes on how I can improve the care and well being of the children I take care of. I have experience taking care of children between the ages of 3 weeks old to 14-year-olds. I love coming up with fun arts and crafts projects that encourage creativity, going on fun and educational outings like going to the library, the museum, the beach, the zoo, going to events geared towards children, and many more places. I also enjoy coming up with fun activities to do: doing science experiments, baking, exploring the outdoors, going on walks, and reading

Open communication is super important to me, and I want families to feel confident knowing their children are in caring and capable hands. Your child's safety is my top priority. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I'm committed to providing reliable, attentive care while creating a warm and supportive environment where your child can learn, grow, and have fun.

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.
