Jeanne E., Babysitter in Ellendale, DE 19941 with 12 years of paid experience

I am a married empty nester with 3 grown daughters and six granddaughters.  I live in Lewes, Delaware and am a certified substitute teacher with completed criminal background check. My latest experience has been with infants and toddlers. I have sat for a family for over seven years. When I began they had one daughter a year old. A year later their precious little boy was born. He is now nine years old and I have been caring for him since he was less than a month old 4 times a week.  Since he is in school now, I am looking to become a "member" of another family for years to come. I currently sit for two little boys who are four and two once a week and have done so for nearly two years I absolutely love children of all ages and am capable of bathing , changing diapers, bottle feeding, swaddling  reading, taking on walks, doing children's laundry, library,movies or whatever else  their age dictates. I can play indoor and outdoor games, read if they are old enough. No matter what age they are, I enjoy being outside, playing or walking with  their strollers or wagons. I will abide and enforce any rules you have regarding snacks, television, etc. All of these families will be happy to provide references on my behalf.

Joyce M., Babysitter in Ellendale, DE 19941 with 3 years of paid experience

After receiving my RN in 1991 I worked in various aspects of nursing. Since I retired I have been sitting with a girl for the past 3 years, she is now age 9. I picked her up from school and we would do homework, chores and crafts together. I work for this family on an as needed basis at present. I am looking for a similar part time permanent job at this time.

Leah S., Babysitter in Ellendale, DE 19941 with 5 years of paid experience

My name is Leah and I am twenty years old. And I absolutely adore children and culture! I am outgoing and I love to sing and play sports, and also have big dreams and imagination! I have Nannied and babysat since I was 16 and have been doing my own laundry since I was 10, so I would be more than happy to help with anything from childcare to housework. I think children are so precious and so often they just need more love than we can imagine. Also, as a side note, I was adopted so if you have any adopted children I would be able to very much so sympathize and understand some difficulties that can come with that. I have a LOT of little cousins under the age of five whom I see and take care of often. I also have a few months old baby nephew whom I love. I spent two summers nannying for a 2 and 7 years old (no overnight stay) and taking care of a dog and the house as well. I believe in grace with children but also discipline for not listening. Otherwise, they could harm themselves or others.I am also currently babysitting a two year old little boy and I have babysat a lot of different ages over the years! I just want to be a light in their day and grow as a person myself. I would also love to help out around the house!
