About Dawn

Experience: 10 yrs

Working with children has always brought me great joy and fulfilment throughout my life. I have experience working with multiple children from newborn to school age. I have worked over 15 years with special needs children who have both physical and cognitive delays and spent many summers working in a daycare center. I am a portrait photographer with over 16 years of experience in a studio. I have been with my current family (two children) for five and a half years now. When children are in my care, I am committed and fully focused on their wellbeing and development. I truly pride myself in being very nurturing and highly dependable. I am comfortable working for families with pets and have a small dog of my own. I have reliable transportation, including a carseat to assist with transportation needs. I look forwards hearing from you soon.

We feel so incredibly lucky to have had Dawn as our nanny during such a special and important time in our baby’s life — from 4 months to 1 year old. From day one, Dawn brought warmth, professionalism, and a truly loving presence into our home. She has a remarkable gift with children — nurturing, calm, and always in tune with our baby’s needs. Whether it was soothing during fussy moments, engaging in tummy time, introducing new sensory activities, or reading and singing, Dawn always brought a thoughtful, age-appropriate, and joyful approach to caregiving. She helped guide us through important transitions like nap routines, introducing solids, and hitting developmental milestones with confidence and care. Her experience and intuition were invaluable, and her calm, grounded energy made us feel at ease every single day. Dawn was also exceptionally reliable, organized, and communicative. She kept us updated with sweet photos, notes about our baby’s day, and always made sure we were aligned. She respected our preferences while also offering insight based on her years of experience — a perfect balance. Saying goodbye to Dawn will be incredibly emotional — not just for us, but for our baby who adored her. Any family would be truly lucky to have Dawn in their lives.
