Dear Parents,
Thank you for considering Sweet Dreams in the Willow as you look for a safe and loving overnight care environment for your child. As a mom and professional who has devoted her three-decade career to early childhood care and education, I understand that each family and child has individual needs. Parents in our community working non-traditional hours deserve quality overnight care for their infants and children. I relate to and can exceed your expectations. My suburban home just five miles from Lancaster city is a safe and loving place where your child will be in practiced hands, a nurturing atmosphere, and a consistent home-away-from-home environment for bedtime, overnight, and morning routines. I know that nothing is more important to you than the peace of mind of knowing that your child can continue to be safe and well-rested while you are at work, pursuing your own professional dreams.
Looking forward to the opportunity to meet you,
Sharon Emerick

Parent Testimonial
​
When we had newborn, premature triplet infants, Sharon Emerick stepped in to care for us. Sharon provided overnight care so that my husband and I could get some sleep for work each day. She woke me up only to nurse a baby (or two). Sharon is a dedicated caregiver who kept our three newborns safe, calm, and loved when we could not. I say that Sharon cared for "us" because she was, quite literally, a life-saver for us to become a happy, healthy, functional family. We are forever indebted to Sharon for her guidance , wisdom and genuine caring.
