Why do I love being a sitter? I genuinely love being a sitter because working with children has always come naturally to me. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids can learn, grow, and feel understood. I’ve grown up around younger siblings and cousins, so caring for children has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. What experience do I have? I have experience with children of all ages. I currently substitute teach across all grade levels, which has helped me understand a wide range of developmental stages and learning styles. I also used to mentor kids, giving me even more one-on-one experience supporting their emotional and academic growth. On top of that, I’ve always taken care of younger siblings and family members, which has given me years of hands-on experience in childcare. What skills and training do I have? I earned a technical diploma through a Teaching Academy program and completed multiple child development classes in high school. I’m also a licensed paraprofessional and CPR/First Aid certified. My training has prepared me to handle daily routines, learning activities, and unexpected situations calmly and confidently. Overall, I bring patience, creativity, and professional childcare training to every family I work with, and I’m committed to helping kids feel safe, supported, and excited to be themselves.

Hi, my name is Alyssa and I am so excited to meet you and your family! I have my high school diploma and am certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED. I'm currently a sophomore at Del Technical Community College, pursuing an Early Childhood Education degree. My experience with babysitting/nannying came from my aunt who had an at-home daycare and I used to help her after school and on days off from school. I have worked with three families with their kids ranging from 1 year old to 11 years old. I still work with one family. I enjoy a variety of games/activities with children including exploring different places, outdoor activities, board games, educational activities, pretend play using kids' imagination doing fun activities, crafting, baking, watching kid-friendly shows, and movies.

I'm not opposed to house work as long as it's factored into the hourly rate.

Hello my name is Karen, I recently moved to Delaware in Aug 2021 from Bucks County Pa. I am married and live in Dover, I have 3 grown children and 5 grandchildren. I have done alot of babysitting with friends children and my own grandchildren, I do prefer to babysit newborns to young toddlers. I do have alot of energy and love pets. I can babysit in your home or mine but I do have a cat. I used to work as a pharmaceutical account specialist until my employer closed the business. I was a stay at home mom with 2 of my children and with my younger son I had to put him in daycares to find out he was being neglected because of 2 many kids and not enough teachers. I dont want to see that happen to anyone else. I will give your child my full one on one attention, send you updates and photos of your child through out the day also I will keep a record of there feeding, naps and playtime. I hope that you may consider me for your babysitting needs. Thankyou
