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

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.

Hello, My name is Marisabel Rodriguez, I am 23 years old, and a paraprofessional at the high school level. I was born in Caracas Venezuela, but have spent most of my life in the United States. I consider myself a heritage speaker who is still learning. I did get babysitter certification through the Red Cross as a teenager and I have a lot of experience with kids. I also have a recent CPR certification. I have many younger relatives, lots of coaching experience with children of all ages, summer camp counselor experience, and have babysat children less than a year old to 13 years old. I can create a fun yet structured (whatever that means to the parent) environment, design activities, and can also introduce a subtle learning environment which won't bore your children. In addition, I also have a great deal of restaurant experience, and can prepare basic meals, as well as pay extra attention to any sort of allergy your child might have. I'm not opposed to house work as long as it's factored into the hourly rate. I would be happy to answer any additional questions so please do not hesitate to reach out to me and get to know me a little more.

I am currently in my last year of college. I have 10 years of experience outside of family, 6 years of paid childcare experience and have also cared for younger relatives since I was 15. Working with children has always come naturally to me, I genuinely love being a sitter because kids bring so much joy, imagination, and honesty to everyday life. I have a soft spot for children and always aim to create a fun, nurturing, and safe environment where they can thrive. My passion for childcare goes beyond babysitting. I plan to attend nursing school after graduating with my Bachelor's in Public Health to become a labor and delivery nurse, and my long-term dream is to open a daycare for low-income families, providing support, early education, and a loving space for children to grow. l'm CPR and First Aid certified, and I have experience with children of all ages, including infants and toddlers. I'm skilled at maintaining routines, engaging kids in age-appropriate activities, assisting with meals and bedtime, and helping with homework. I'm also patient, dependable, and able to manage multiple children at once while keeping things organized and fun.lf you're looking for someone who truly cares about your child's well-being, development, and happiness. I'd love to be that person. I look forward to connecting with your family!

I am a 20 year old college student, majoring in nursing. I have multiple younger siblings so for as long as I can remember I have been babysitting and looking over children. I have worked in various child care facilities across the country as well. I am a fun babysitter who pays attention to detail. I am a very creative person as well so I can keep the children engaged but I am also big on prioritization, so appropriately after chores and/or homework.
