Hi I am first aid and CPR certified. I've had 21+yrs in the preschool Childcare setting. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish.

- 5 years paid experience

I have over five years of experience as a babysitter, caring for children ranging from infants to school-aged kids. I became a caregiver because I have always had a natural affinity for working with children. From a young age, I found joy in helping and nurturing others, which led me to pursue a career where I could make a meaningful difference in children’s lives. I love my job because it allows me to witness and contribute to the incredible growth and development of young minds. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a child’s eyes light up when they learn something new or accomplish a milestone. The trust and bond I build with the children and their families are incredibly fulfilling. What makes me good at my job is my combination of patience, creativity, and dedication. I am adept at creating engaging and educational activities tailored to each child’s interests and developmental stage. My strong communication skills ensure that I can effectively collaborate with parents to provide consistent and high-quality care. Additionally, my adaptability allows me to handle the varying needs and personalities of children, ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for all.

Corrine B.
- 7 years paid experience
- 4 miles

My name is Corrine. I'm 21 years old and a nursing student. I previously attended Widener University and am now taking a summer class at Delaware Tech through the first week of July. I’ll be continuing at Del Tech in the fall. I commute to campus and live near the University of Delaware. I’ve been working with kids since I was 14—starting as a volunteer at a local summer camp and babysitting for families in my neighborhood. At 16, I was hired by the camp, and I now work with the City of Newark’s before and after care program. I currently babysit for several families I’ve known for years, and I truly enjoy what I do. I love building relationships with kids and watching their personalities grow. It’s rewarding to be someone they can rely on and feel safe with, whether we’re playing games, reading books, or just talking. I really value being part of their support system and creating fun, positive experiences for them. I have experience with children as young as 6–8 months all the way up to 13 years old. I’ve cared for kids with a variety of needs, including epilepsy, Down syndrome, autism, ADHD/ADD, mobility impairments, and partial blindness. My experience spans casual babysitting, structured care in before/after-school programs, and summer camps. As a nursing student, I’ve completed coursework in child development, basic first aid, and safety. I’m CPR certified and trained in how to respond to seizures, allergic reactions, and other common emergencies. I’m also comfortable with feeding, diapering, bedtime routines, and light housekeeping.
