A little bit about me
Hello there! My name is Dawn Perry. I began as a Nanny for several years before marrying my husband. Together we raised and home schooled our 5 sons. While he was pastoring, I taught piano on the side and worked in children’s and women’s ministry for over 30 years. Now that my own children are grown, I have enjoyed being a Nanny for a NICU nurse in my subdivision. They have been such a joy over the last two years and recently relocated after the birth of their precious second baby. I would like to also mention that I have worked with twins and triplets. I love children, I love families, I love to be a blessing, a support, and an encouragement…especially mothers! I look forward to the opportunities and doors that open for me to love on my next family. Life is sweeter with a good friend you can depend on. May you find just the right fit for your family!
