Responsible babysitter with experience in caring for children. Skilled in creating fun, engaging, and educational activities, while demonstrating a priority for children’s safety and well-being. I adore being a baby-sitter because I love children and grew up in my grandmother's daycare so child caring comes naturally for me. I love having the privilege to help them grow, learn and smile.

I am currently in my last year of college. I have 10 years of experience outside of family, 6 years of paid childcare experience and have also cared for younger relatives since I was 15. Working with children has always come naturally to me, I genuinely love being a sitter because kids bring so much joy, imagination, and honesty to everyday life. I have a soft spot for children and always aim to create a fun, nurturing, and safe environment where they can thrive. My passion for childcare goes beyond babysitting. I plan to attend nursing school after graduating with my Bachelor's in Public Health to become a labor and delivery nurse, and my long-term dream is to open a daycare for low-income families, providing support, early education, and a loving space for children to grow. l'm CPR and First Aid certified, and I have experience with children of all ages, including infants and toddlers. I'm skilled at maintaining routines, engaging kids in age-appropriate activities, assisting with meals and bedtime, and helping with homework. I'm also patient, dependable, and able to manage multiple children at once while keeping things organized and fun.lf you're looking for someone who truly cares about your child's well-being, development, and happiness. I'd love to be that person. I look forward to connecting with your family!

Hi! My name is Destiny and I’m a college student majoring in Music Industry at Delaware State University. I have experience working with kids as a camp counselor, where I led games, crafts, and group activities while helping create a safe and supportive environment. I’ve also helped care for my two younger sisters, which has given me plenty of hands-on experience with kids of different ages. I’m responsible, dependable, and love bringing creativity into the things I do — whether that’s music, dance, or fun projects that keep kids engaged. I enjoy helping children learn, grow, and have fun, and I’d love the chance to bring that same energy and care to your family.

Hello, My name is Marisabel Rodriguez, I am 23 years old, and a paraprofessional at the high school level. I was born in Caracas Venezuela, but have spent most of my life in the United States. I consider myself a heritage speaker who is still learning. I did get babysitter certification through the Red Cross as a teenager and I have a lot of experience with kids. I also have a recent CPR certification. I have many younger relatives, lots of coaching experience with children of all ages, summer camp counselor experience, and have babysat children less than a year old to 13 years old. I can create a fun yet structured (whatever that means to the parent) environment, design activities, and can also introduce a subtle learning environment which won't bore your children. In addition, I also have a great deal of restaurant experience, and can prepare basic meals, as well as pay extra attention to any sort of allergy your child might have. I'm not opposed to house work as long as it's factored into the hourly rate. I would be happy to answer any additional questions so please do not hesitate to reach out to me and get to know me a little more.

Hello my name is Karen, I recently moved to Delaware in Aug 2021 from Bucks County Pa. I am married and live in Dover, I have 3 grown children and 5 grandchildren. I have done alot of babysitting with friends children and my own grandchildren, I do prefer to babysit newborns to young toddlers. I do have alot of energy and love pets. I can babysit in your home or mine but I do have a cat. I used to work as a pharmaceutical account specialist until my employer closed the business. I was a stay at home mom with 2 of my children and with my younger son I had to put him in daycares to find out he was being neglected because of 2 many kids and not enough teachers. I dont want to see that happen to anyone else. I will give your child my full one on one attention, send you updates and photos of your child through out the day also I will keep a record of there feeding, naps and playtime. I hope that you may consider me for your babysitting needs. Thankyou
