I start almost every sentence in this paragraph with "I" and don't know what else to use! Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Here's the paragraph:

"Before I knew it, I was in front of the building, my destination. I’d made it without any problems. I held my breath as I looked at my watch; the luck was in my favor: I’d made it in time. I hurried in and chanced a quick glance behind me, to make sure I wasn’t being followed. I didn’t see anyone, but I looked for cover just in case. I spied a small nook to my left and stealthily advanced toward it."

A friend has asked me to read over a letter she is writing to a judge, and this sentence has me scratching my head:

"The children were in the presence of John Doe only while also accompanied by one of the babysitters; Sarah Doe, Alysa Public, Jane Smith; or myself."

Is there a better way to word or punctuate this sentence? As I said, this is a letter to a judge, so if you are not certain, please abstain from answering this question.

Ok this might sound very niave to some but here goes.

I was always lead to believe that an apostrope ' was used for the omissions of a letter. eg they're=they are etc.
Now alot of people seem to use it for plurals eg football's,mick's house etc

Is this correct?

If my answer to a question is the following "I indeed am one of them," should there be two commas before and after "indeed"? or is it : "I am indeed one of them"?

Thanks for your answers
