A little bit about me

Hi my name is DaShun Dickerson I am a 17 year old female turning 18 August 8 2025. Here’s some information about myself. I love kids, I started babysitting at the age of 13. I am very passionate about making sure every kid is well taking care of. While the parents are handling their business. I know this is a big responsibility and I understand if your kids have separation anxiety, we would build a wonderful bond and I will be sure to comfort them and care for them and meet any needs that they may need to adapt to me. I also have no problem with cleaning around your house. My availability is 5am-2pm. Monday-Sunday. Unfortunately I won’t be able to work no later than 2pm, I would have to be back home to take care of my niece. Kids are the biggest blessing that’s why I love helping parent out who needs the extra help. With this money you all are blessing me with, I’m saving up so that I can purchase a car for myself, with that being said I will be catching a Lyft to your home into then.
