My name is Dawne :) I am new to the system so hopefully it's all inclusive of what I listed as extensive experience in childcare, early childhood development, preschool education, special education, health & nutrition, and behavioral guidance. I am a loving, friendly, compassionate, & energetic person who has over 25 + years of experience raising children and caring for infants, toddlers, young children, and adolescence, as well as adults. I'm a mother of 3 successful & loving daughters. I have many years of experience working for LBUSD in regular & special education and also as a substitute teacher. For the past 3 years & while my daughters were growing up I was a home daycare provider of my private Funshine Christian Family Day Care & Tutoring. At the present time I am providing respite care for adults with special needs, while I still occasionally care for the children of former families. Children are my joy & sharing my time with them is what I love & do best! I enjoy being outside, going on outings, arts & crafts, reading, and fostering the developmental stages with play & appropriate higher level thinking skills. I am conscientious of health & nutrition and the important role it plays in the well being of a child. I'm a genuinely patient and caring person with a calm temperament and sunny disposition, especially when meeting the diverse needs of your child/ren & household responsibilities with skilled multitasking. I have references available, I am CPR certified, and have a TB clearance. If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Your child is the most important consideration in your life and I'm here to alleviate any uncertainties or concerns. I look forward to hearing more from you soon. I can be contacted at
