Hello! My name is Alyssa Ghilardi, I am 30 years old and live in New Castle, Delaware! I am the oldest of 7 siblings and have 5 nieces and nephews all under 10 years old. I was a paid babysitter from 12 years old through college. So, plenty of experience with children! I have watched up to three children and have cousins who were twins that I grew up babysitting. I paused once I started my career. However, I am currently starting my own business and am newly pregnant! Looking for flexible work that I can enjoy as I prepare for this new chapter of life. I host hikes in Delaware as part of a women’s hiking group to which I am required to be First Aid & CPR certified! I am an athlete, a gardener, love cooking and arts & crafts so I often find many ways to connect with children! I have completed my education through my MBA and am more than happy to help with homework. I am confident and comfortable with light housekeeping, helping with errands, drop-offs and pick-ups. Looking to find a family I can support and work with on a regular basis. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! Here to help :)

As a single parent to an only child, I often see the heavy lifting of motherhood as a labor of love. The day in and day out, rinse and repeat, and everything in between. I reached out to Alyssa and when I knew I needed a break and for my daughter to be in good, safe, loving care. She loves on, cared for, and entertained Noella for a longer stretch of time than originally intended and for that I am so grateful. From getting through school work, healthy food and snacks, early morning fun, to movies or taking on playing in the water; Alyssa’s attentiveness to my ADHD daughter was memorable and I for that I couldn’t recommend her enough! Five stars. 10/10!!!

Hello! My name is Clara, and I am a 26 year-old Registered Nurse (RN) in Pediatrics. I received my first BS in Psychology at Haverford College in 2022, and went back to school for an accelerated BS in Nursing at Villanova University in 2023-2024. I am currently working full-time in Pediatrics in the hospital. :) I have nearly 10 years of babysitting and nannying experience in both the private home-care and professional academic sectors, and have been so fortunate to amass an incredible circle of clients that have followed me through many years and much growth. I love this work and I feel incredibly excited and blessed to be able to expand my experience and passion into the healthcare sector. I am still working regularly for many of my long-time clients — and even with nursing my full-time job, I am still excited and motivated to continue my "home" jobs and enjoy a change of pace from the rigor of the hospital setting. While I am not currently able to accept any full-time or regular-recurring new clients, due to my full-time schedule at the hospital, I would be glad to chat regarding occasional babysitting needs and opportunities for date nights, weekends, holidays, etc. I am still open to taking clients on in this capacity, and would be glad to connect on this front!! :) (Please note: due to my years of experience and my RN licensure, I can assure you that I will provide a high tier of attentive, customized, educated care for your children of all ages and unique intricacies. As such, my starting rate at this time is now $28/hr. Please feel free to send me a message if you would like to discuss my scale for multiple children and inquire about options. Thank you so much for your understanding in advance).

Clara is wonderful! She’s always on time and very sweet. She’s great with our son and was really put to the test when he became stomach sick while under her care. She was quick to give us an update and remained calm and took such great care comforting him ❤️ We would definitely recommend her !

I would recommend Francesca wholeheartedly. She has watched my two young children a few times and each time they were excited to see her and felt comfortable quickly. She has been very communicative, thorough, and reliable.

My name is Corrine. I'm 21 years old and a nursing student. I previously attended Widener University and am now taking a summer class at Delaware Tech through the first week of July. I’ll be continuing at Del Tech in the fall. I commute to campus and live near the University of Delaware. I’ve been working with kids since I was 14—starting as a volunteer at a local summer camp and babysitting for families in my neighborhood. At 16, I was hired by the camp, and I now work with the City of Newark’s before and after care program. I currently babysit for several families I’ve known for years, and I truly enjoy what I do. I love building relationships with kids and watching their personalities grow. It’s rewarding to be someone they can rely on and feel safe with, whether we’re playing games, reading books, or just talking. I really value being part of their support system and creating fun, positive experiences for them. I have experience with children as young as 6–8 months all the way up to 13 years old. I’ve cared for kids with a variety of needs, including epilepsy, Down syndrome, autism, ADHD/ADD, mobility impairments, and partial blindness. My experience spans casual babysitting, structured care in before/after-school programs, and summer camps. As a nursing student, I’ve completed coursework in child development, basic first aid, and safety. I’m CPR certified and trained in how to respond to seizures, allergic reactions, and other common emergencies. I’m also comfortable with feeding, diapering, bedtime routines, and light housekeeping.

I have 20+ years experience working in Pediatrics. I work full time at PennMedicine and my children are grown. I would love to share my expertise and experience working with infants (including premies and twins), preschool age, school age, teens/tweens, and children with special needs. I have degrees in Early Childhood Education and Psychology. I specialize in social/emotional development and helping build coping skills in children. I used babysitters while my children were young. I know how hard it is to find a quality caregiver that you can trust and are spending meaningful time with your children. Dog lover.

Hi I’m Sanai What I love most about being a sitter is that I get to meet little young people that have wonderful personalities. I love kids. While baby sitting you learn new things about the children and can help make a positive impact on their lives as they grow older. What I love doing the most is teaching and having fun. My goal as a sitter is to help the parents and children. All of my background checks are provided.

Samantha was wonderful with our 2 young boys. She was even able to put them to bed, which is a feat! The boys were asking for her the next day, which is a sign of what a great experience they had with her too! I am looking forward to continuing to work with Samantha.
