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. Read more 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
