Daphny W., Babysitter in Amherst, NH 03031 with 8 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Daphny Wilches. I just graduated from the University of Florida in May 2025 with a degree in Business Administration. I’ve been working with kids for 8 years now, and childcare has always been something I’ve been genuinely passionate about. I’ve had the chance to work with all different age groups, and every experience has taught me something new. When I was 16, I was hired by the YMCA where I worked in the childcare center, refereed sports, and lifeguarded. Since then, I’ve worked mostly with toddlers and school-aged kids, but I truly enjoy being around children of all ages. I’m background checked, have been trained in CPR and First Aid, and some of the qualities people often use to describe me are: responsible, patient, active, flexible, punctual, and trustworthy. I’m also bilingual (fluent in Spanish), which has been a big help when working with diverse families. Outside of childcare, I love staying active! I’ve played basketball, tennis, flag football, and a bit of soccer. I also grew up around music and played both piano and clarinet. I try to bring those same interests into the care I provide, whether it’s getting outside to play or doing something creative indoors. I’m also someone you can count on for last-minute help—I totally understand that things come up, and I try to be as flexible and available as possible when families need a hand. My goal is always to support your child’s development and help them grow socially, emotionally, and confidently. I really look forward to meeting your family and hopefully making a positive impact in your lives!

Mariska E., Babysitter in Amherst, NH 03031 with 3 years of paid experience

Hello lovely people! My name is Mariska! I am 23 years old and have been babysitting on and off for 5 years total! After leaving my 9-5 as a pharmacy tech, I am back to babysitting part time! I took babysitting classes in 2018, which included a CPR certification with American Red Cross. My last two years of high school, I completed a Careers in Education class where I worked hands on with kids in a preschool. Many days there would be up to 15 kids at a time. Some tasks I was assigned were: -creating lesson plans -playing/reading to the children -providing snack time -classroom cleanup Throughout high school, I babysat for my mother's friend's kiddos. One of the children I sat for had a tracheotomy. So if your child has a medical condition, no need to worry. Additionally, I am well versed in the pharmaceutical field so if your little one is on any medication at all I am more than comfortable distributing it. As of 2025, I currently babysit for a couple different families occasionally. The ages range from 2-10. I have experience with carpooling teenage kids to and from school as well. If you’d like to reach out to the families i’ve worked for/currently work with for a reference, just let me know and I can provide their information! I am extremely patient and a great listener. I am organized, timely, reliable, honest, upbeat, silly, caring, and more than willing to take on anything! My specialty is being able to help a child destress from a tough moment! I follow routine very well, this always makes it easier for the child - to have the same routine as they do with mommy and/or daddy. My communication skills are amazing, making sure no detail of the day is left out when reporting back to the parent(s). Some parents prefer updates throughout the day, let me know what you prefer and I got your back! Thank you for taking your time to consider me! <3 If you think i’d be a good match for your family, don’t hesitate to reach out so we can set up a time to meet! Cash pay only please and thank you as this is my part time job and all pay goes directly to savings. I am open to weekly pay (rather than daily) after I have established a relationship with the family:) I care for all the children I work with like they were my own. I promise your little one(s) will be in safe hands with me. God bless ✝️ -Miss Mariska
