I used to babysit for these two cute little girls. Dawn and Shannon. Shannon had beautiful blond hair and was 3 , Dawn had dark hair and was two. Some times I think about what they would be like today. They would be in their 30's now. I would like to know if they are doing well and how they turned out. There are many more children I knew through my life who I would like to find out about. How about you?? Do you remember a child from the past who you would like to find out about now?? Someone you didn't keep in touch with but you remember?? What would you say to them if you met them today?? Do you think they would remember you??

It is always great to know and find out those children that we once took care of. It is usually through their parents that we still keep in-touch with them. It is hardly keeping in touch with them directly. But, most of the time, they just grow in their own path of life and hardly see them anymore. In fact, today if i were to meet up with my babysitter, I probably would not recognize her at all.

What a great question! You might remember that i have moved a lot in my life. So I have lots of people I have lost touch with. Patty and Laura were my best friends when I was 4 or 5 until I was 8. I'd love to see them now. They were5 years or so older than I was. MY sister, Cindy, and I were with 2 sisters named Tammy and Cindy, TWICE! lol I'd like to know about them. As we got older there are more people i remember and lots from high school I have lost touch with. One in perticular, Lisa that I would love to find. Most might not remember me, but I know she would. Ii have ran into children I have know when they were small and it is amazing how they can change!

I was a tutor once, and have tutored many students ranging from age 9 to age 14, boys and girls. Now, the only students whom I think I can recognize is only my neighbour who is now an air hostess. As to whether they "remember" me, I am contended that they are doing well, at least I think so.

I think all us babysitters are remembered, I certainly remember mine :) When I was around 14 or 15 I babysat for two twin 6 year old boys, they were great fun and really well behaved. I saw them, instantly recognised them last month in town while shopping, and now they are taller than me, it was very strange :)

i taught toddlers and pre-school a few years back, some of the kids i still see but most of the time their parents have to remind them that i was their teacher when they were 2 or 3. there's a kid though who i really want to see now. we called her bunny (she has a really weird, hard to pronounce name) and she was around 3 that time. her mom was young, about 19 actually. bunny never met her dad. she was smart and funny and i really felt that her mom didn't pay much attention to her. am just curious how life turned out for her...

I can't really think of anyone at the moment. I was happy to get in touch with one of the daughters of a friend I have no heard from in over 10 years. The last time I saw the girl she was about 16 she is now 28 and married with a six year old little boy. It was nice to find out how she was doing.

I sometimes think of visiting my old school friends but somehow I don't go to visit them and I don't know why.

I ran a daycare out of my house and had a family of 3 kids that I had kept in touch with for awhile but not anymore. I think they would remeber me as the one guy I raised from a baby and he was always yelling for me. They lived down the road and would have to stop by my house after every walk or hed have a fit.

There are a few I would love to meet and catch up with, mostly they are ex foster children of my sister who I always used to spend holidays with, she has kept in contact with the majority of her foster children but there are a few we have not heard from in years and I would love to catch up and just find out how they are doing! xxx

Hi mssnow.. I went to Canada last June and worked for a single mom who had 2 sons ages 6 and 7..I only worked for them for 6 months though. I still keep in touch with their mom but I havent talked to them or saw them even in a photo. Its only now that I realized I miss them and they're a part of my life already. I hope they will remember me, coz we really had fun together when I was there. I lived in their house, so we were like one family..I hope I will still be able to see them again soon.
