Maria J., Babysitter in Harbeson, DE 19951 with 20 years of paid experience

Hello! I'm Maria and I enjoy babysitting! I think it's so neat to be with children and to partake in the things they like, see what they can do and I oftentimes bring a bag of goodies, because new toys or games interest them. I'm 57 and have 5 grandchildren, to my delight ! I babysat for many years, with Nanny Sitting Service in the Delaware beach area. It's nice to watch peoples' little ones, so they can have a date night or get what they need done. I work with children at church and have mentored in elementary school. I have certification as a nursing aid American Heart Assoc. Basic life Support (CPR&AED) certification.

I am a retired project manager looking for part time work and started searching nanny/sitter jobs after several friends and family suggested I look into this, mentioning how well my children were raised.

Karen was the best. So sad she moved away, she was our go to babysitter. She was exactly what I need as an anxious mom who had a hard time letting go of control, she provided all the comfort I needed and more to get me out the door and enjoy a night out that my husband and I so desperately needed. She takes control, asks all the right questions, is playful, respectful, cares for your children as if they were her own and is a great communicator. Whichever new family gets to be graced with Karen's presence is a lucky one. Our loss is your gain.

Jeanne E., Babysitter in Harbeson, DE 19951 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.

Jeanne was wonderful! She was available with relatively short notice to watch our 17-month old while on a weekend in Rehoboth. She kept us updated, put him to bed, and was flexible with our return time when a dinner ran long.

Arlene watched our dog for three weeks and was so wonderful with her. She cared for her as her own. She even took her on a trip to the shore❤️ Sofi was healthy and happy as ever when we returned, all thanks to Arlene! We highly recommend her for pet sitting!

Venice C., Babysitter in Harbeson, DE 19951 with 10 years of paid experience

My name is Venice, and I am a responsible, dependable, and compassionate caregiver with over 10 years of professional childcare experience. I have worked as both a live-in and live-out nanny and have extensive experience caring for children of different ages and stages of development. I truly enjoy working with children and take pride in creating a safe, loving, nurturing, and structured environment where they can learn, grow, and feel supported. As a parent myself, I understand the importance of trust, patience, and consistency in a child’s life. I raised my son, who proudly served seven years in the U.S. Air Force, which helped reinforce the values of responsibility, dedication, respect, and integrity that I carry into my caregiving role every day. My childcare experience includes infant and child care responsibilities such as preparing bottles, feeding, changing diapers, potty training, bathing, maintaining routines, helping with homework, and supporting children’s educational and developmental growth. I enjoy engaging children through reading, educational activities, creative play, and early learning exercises that help build skills and confidence while keeping them entertained and encouraged. In addition to childcare, I can also assist families with household responsibilities, including cooking, light housekeeping, laundry, grocery shopping, and helping maintain an organized home environment. I have excellent interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills and strongly believe in honesty, integrity, and reliability. I understand that parents are placing their trust in someone to care for the most important people in their lives, and I take that responsibility very seriously. For me, being a nanny is more than just a job it is something I am truly passionate about. There is a special feeling that comes from helping children thrive and giving parents peace of mind knowing their children are being cared for with patience, kindness, and genuine love. I am CPR/First Aid certified.

Since I was 17 I started working with children. I used to entertain children's parties and I taught classes during the summer where I worked with children from 4 to 12 years old. Now I work in a daycare with children from 0-2 years old. I love working with children because we both enjoy our time together. I have skills in face painting, making balloons and crafts. I really like doing outdoor activities like going to the beach. My family and friends say that I am a very cheerful person and that I spread my joy. They say that I am very organized and that I have patience and that I like to teach.
