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.

Shakeeva is super professional in communications and great with kids. She engaged with both of our boys immediately after first meeting them, even though they were shy. She was great at drawing them out to talk and get to know her better. Since that first time they have had dance parties, done crafts, and had a lot of fun. We definitely plan on using her services moving forward and highly recommend her.

Alyssa G., Babysitter in Claymont, DE 19703 with 10 years of paid experience

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!!!

Clara M., Babysitter in Claymont, DE 19703 with 9 years of paid experience

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 !

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.

Najah  H., Babysitter in Claymont, DE 19703 with 3 years of paid experience

Hello, i’m Najah! I am new to the app, but not new to caregiving. I have experience primarily working with infants and one- to two-year-olds, though I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages. My time working in child care has helped me to understand the importance of developmental learning. I enjoy incorporating fun, age-appropriate activities into the day to support growth and exploration. Whether it’s preparing and serving meals or attending to your child's unique needs, I’m always up for the challenge. I believe in creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment that caters to each child’s individual temperament and needs. I am currently working at an early education center Monday- Friday, however, i’m adaptable and can easily adjust my time to best fit your schedule within a two week time frame. Looking forward to meeting your family and providing the best care possible!

Sarah was great! She was very easy to work with, and very flexible for the last minute schedule change I had. Most importantly, she was great with our son. He is still getting used to baby sitters, but he had such a great time with Sarah. He took to her right away, and he had a great time playing with Sarah. Thanks so much!
