Find experienced child care providers in Union City, 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

Why do you love being a sitter? I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel supported. I love creating fun, engaging days where children can learn through play, creativity, reading, outdoor activities, and everyday experiences. I enjoy getting to know each child's personality and interests and creating a safe, nurturing environment where they can be themselves. Building a trusting relationship with both children and their families is one of my favorite parts of childcare. What experience do you have? I have professional childcare experience working with children of various ages, including infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children. I have worked as a nanny, operated my own childcare business, and worked as a Lead Teacher in an early childhood classroom. Through these experiences, I have cared for multiple children, supported daily routines, planned age-appropriate activities, prepared meals and snacks, assisted with children's organization and laundry, and communicated with families about their children's needs and development. What skills and training do you have? I am CPR and First Aid certified and have training and hands-on experience in early childhood education and development. I am comfortable with infants and toddlers, diapering, feeding, naps, potty training, children's routines, developmental activities, and managing multiple children. I am organized, dependable, patient, creative, energetic, and comfortable taking initiative. I also enjoy incorporating reading, arts and crafts, sensory activities, music, outdoor play, and educational activities into childcare.

I am a friendly, calm, patient, and creative babysitter with previous daycare and volunteer experience. I have worked with children ages 1 through 8 in a daycare setting, including toddlers and elementary-school-aged children. I have also volunteered at an elementary school and a middle school. I have completed multiple verified Michigan childcare training courses, including health and safety training, safe sleep training, transportation training, and ongoing health and safety coursework.

However, I am currently offering independent babysitting for children ages 4 and older and am not offering infant care at this time. I am available for shorter jobs, full-day babysitting of up to 8 hours, and possibly longer when it fits my schedule. Rates: $20 per hour for one child +$3 per hour for each additional child Rates may vary depending on the duties and level of care required. Please feel free to message me privately with: ♡ Number and ages of the children ♡ Days and times needed ♡ How often you need a babysitter ♡ Duties and expectations ♡ General area—not your full address at first Proof of my completed childcare training can be provided privately.
