Find experienced babysitters in Delco, NC

Hello! I have always had a way with children. I grew up with a lot of younger kids in my neighborhood and younger siblings so I became the unofficial babysitter for the parents. I have continued to babysit on the side while I completed my bachelor’s degree in psychology. I have also worked with special needs children. I enjoy babysitting because for one the children are adorable and help take my mind off of stressful adult life like grad school. They bring a smile to my face and help me learn more about myself.

I have worked with children most of my life. I was a preschool teacher as well as professional nanny before becoming a mom. For the last 12 years I have been a SAHM. I homeschool my 12 year old daughter as well. I have a five year daughter that may need to accompany me. I believe children are a gift and treat every child as if they are my own.

Hi Sittercity Families, My name is Sarah, and I recently relocated from a small town in New Jersey to Wilmington, North Carolina, to be closer to my family. I previously worked as a 911 Emergency Dispatcher, a role that strengthened my ability to stay calm under pressure, think quickly, and care deeply for others—qualities I naturally carry into my work as a nanny. Caring for children has always been my true passion. Starting at just 13 years old, I volunteered through my church, providing childcare, which quickly grew into opportunities to work with multiple families over the years. I’ve also been involved in children’s organizations and volunteer work, including JLBC, SRT, and global mission trips, all of which deepened my love for supporting and guiding young minds. Beyond my professional experience, I am also a full-time bonus parent to three wonderful kids. This role has given me real-life, hands-on experience in creating structure, nurturing emotional growth, and building meaningful, trusting relationships with children of different ages. I strive to create a safe, engaging, and loving environment where children can thrive. I enjoy incorporating nature, creativity, and off-screen activities into daily routines to encourage development and imagination. I would describe myself as responsible, respectful, punctual, nurturing, and proactive—someone who truly takes pride in being a positive and reliable presence in a child’s life. It would be an absolute privilege to support and care for your family.

My career includes a Masters Degree and a state board license as a LMFT. (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist ) which included professional training in early child development and family systems. I have raised two adult daughters as a single parent and I'm now retired after 30yrs of professional work which in later yrs. included 10yrs working with Law Enforcement requiring full LE background checks and clearance. During that time I was trained in both CPR and First Aid. Now as a retired woman, having my only grandchild being aged 30yrs., I am looking forward to cuddling and care for infants in need of a Nana's touch and love. I hope to help your young parents with the needs and safety, caring for a newborn to 1yr old.

Hi! I’m looking to help a family with babysitting this summer while the kids are out of school. I have years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, including infants. I helped care for my younger siblings growing up and have been babysitting for what feels like my whole life. I’m comfortable caring for multiple children, and I have experience with babies as young as 2 months old. I’m also currently expecting my first baby girl this fall, which has made me even more passionate about caring for little ones. I always prioritize the safety, well-being, and happiness of every child in my care. My goal is to create a fun, engaging, and safe environment where both kids and parents feel comfortable. I’d love the opportunity to help your family this summer!

I would love the opportunity to work as a babysitter because caring for children is something I truly enjoy. I have 18 years of experience looking after children of different ages, and I understand the importance of providing a safe, caring, and nurturing environment. I am CPR certified, which allows me to respond confidently in case of an emergency. I am dependable, patient, and dedicated to making sure every child in my care feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I look forward to supporting families by providing reliable and compassionate childcare.

About Me I am an experienced, nurturing caregiver with 10+ years of varied experience, including private nannying, daycare, preschool, and school settings. I’m also mom to an 8.5 month old baby. I genuinely love working with infants and toddlers and find deep joy in supporting their growth, curiosity, and confidence during these early years. As a parent myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your child. I bring a calm, thoughtful, and joyful presence to my caregiving. I’m attentive to infant routines, feeding schedules, naps, and developmental milestones, and I value clear, consistent communication with parents. I’m especially interested in working with families who have infants or young children close in age to my own, as shared routines and peer-like play can be a wonderful fit when appropriate. Experience My background spans private nannying throughout high school, college and early adulthood, assistant teaching 3–4-year-old preschool, and working in school-based environments. I also taught preschool and kinder dance classes, supporting young children’s coordination, listening skills, self-expression, and joy through movement. Across roles, I’ve cared for infants and toddlers with attention to routines, naps, feeding, play, and transitions, while creating a warm, structured, and supportive environment. Care Philosophy I believe early childhood should be about connection, play, and presence. I love reading, music and movement, sensory play, and spending time outdoors when weather allows. I do not use screen time and prefer an environment that encourages curiosity, creativity, and real interaction. I am patient, dependable, and intentional, and I aim to create a space where children feel safe, supported, and free to explore.
