About Dawn

Experience: 5 yrs

With five years of experience caring for children, I'm passionate about creating a nurturing and stimulating environment for your little ones. My previous babysitting roles solidified my desire to positively impact children's lives, and I enjoy supporting families by providing reliable care. I'm patient, creative, and friendly, and love engaging kids in outdoor sports, board games, and educational activities. I'm comfortable caring for up to two children aged 4-11. I communicate with parents through daily reports, verbal updates, and texts. I always follow the parents' lead in enforcing household rules. I'm happy to help with cooking, carpooling, light housekeeping, travel, crafts, and swimming supervision. I hold certifications in CPR and First Aid. I'm eager to bring my energy and experience to your family and provide the best possible care for your children, and perhaps even teach them how to play my favorite board game!

Dawn is great! After school and no school days she keeps my kids entertained and focused on what needs to be done. She is sweet kind and understanding but also firm to keep on track. My children love having her around!
