Dear Parent, I am writing on behalf of Samantha Smith. Samantha worked for us for 2 1/2 years taking care of our four daughters. Her responsibilities included taking the girls to and from school, after school activities and play dates, preparing meals and bathing them. She took great pride in their appearance and manners. She is extremely punctual and organized. She is also very intelligent and spent lots of time reading and playing games with the girls. She is an excellent cook and would regularly prepare delicious family meals. Unfortunately, our daughters are now all in school and our needs have changed. She has gotten our daughters off to a great start in life and we hope she will be able to find another family who will appreciate her wonderful and attentive care of their children. Best, Laura Doyle Hammam      Dawn Nicholson  I worked for Dawn very briefly for the summer of this year July to September caring for her 18 mth old daughter. I basically took care of her during the day saw to her needs, went outside, played games, took walks and engaged her in learning activities indoor. I also groomed her on mornings and prepared her for bed at nights. My responsibilities also included preparing her meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks. )
