About Dawn

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I have a decade of experience as a caregiver and hold a graduate degree, which has given me the knowledge and skills to nurture and support children's development. My passion for fostering their growth and making a positive impact on their lives is what drives me. As a patient, creative, and friendly individual, I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment for your child. I believe in open communication and will provide you with regular updates about your child's day. With regards to household rules, I follow the parents' lead to ensure consistency. I enjoy playing board games, puzzles, and educational games that promote learning. I am also a skilled swimmer and love exploring nature, providing opportunities for outdoor adventures and fostering a sense of wonder. With my car, I can assist with carpooling, and I am comfortable with pets. I am also willing to help with cooking, meal preparation, light housekeeping, travel, and swimming supervision.

Dawn has worked with our family since my daughter was 6; she is now 13. I can't emphasize enough what a true gift Dawn is -- I felt like we won the care lottery when we found her. Here are just a few reasons why she is a truly exceptional caregiver: -- She's a mom herself of two young adults. She GETS it. I had only hired college students or recent grads before and Dawn's tenure as a parent made a big difference. She is well practiced in the ups and downs of parenting, which makes her more patient, capable and compassionate, both to the child and the parent! -- She is a professional who has worked in pastoral and other direct service settings with a range of people. She knows how to connect with a wide range of youth and adults, and can skillfully meet them where they are. My daughter had developmental delays and she was not only sensitive to her needs, she participated in the therapy and support she required without being asked. -- She keeps a very tidy space and home. I mean, that one is huge. It's not just about dishes being cleared. Dawn really pays attention to the house and knows how exhausted we are when we come home. She anticipates needs before they arrive. -- She is warm, loving and so very caring. Dawn finds great purpose and meaning in the provision of care. It actually taught me a lot about myself and my own parenting, just watching the sense of intent she brought to our home. I could go on and on. Dawn has been with us for so many years, she is a part of our family. If you would like to speak with me live, I am available to do so through Dawn. You cannot go wrong in hiring Dawn. I am so grateful to the universe for sending her my way.
