Find experienced child care providers in Ellendale, DE

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.

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.

Hi! My names Honesty ( yes it’s my real name I get that a lot lol ). I’m 20 years old, I’ve been babysitting and watching kids since I can remember. I’m the oldest of 4 and come from a huge family so chaos and kid is nothing new to me. I have my own car and have been driving for years so plenty of experience there. I’d say I’m very laid back and patient but also a huge kid at heart. I love the outdoors and finding anything to stay busy especially with the weather so nice. I have a lot of free time right now and want to find a different career path and child care seems promising! Also a few of my family members with like autism and physical disability so I understand the patients and care that comes with it. I’d never treat anyone differently than I’d want my own family treated. All things said nothings new to me and im ready for anything. I hope to hear back and thank you!

My name is Katie, I am 23 years old. I am from Utah and recently moved to Sacramento with my husband and dog. I enjoy hiking, cleaning, and crafting. I am currently pursuing a degree in Elementary Education to become a licensed Elementary school teacher. In the meantime I have worked at after school programs from 2017-2020. I have a deep passion for working with kids. I also have lots of experience helping my sister with her two boys ages 3 and 1. My favorite part of working with kids is getting to know them and helping them learn and have fun.

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.

My name is Leah and I am twenty years old. And I absolutely adore children and culture! I am outgoing and I love to sing and play sports, and also have big dreams and imagination! I have Nannied and babysat since I was 16 and have been doing my own laundry since I was 10, so I would be more than happy to help with anything from childcare to housework. I think children are so precious and so often they just need more love than we can imagine. Also, as a side note, I was adopted so if you have any adopted children I would be able to very much so sympathize and understand some difficulties that can come with that. I have a LOT of little cousins under the age of five whom I see and take care of often. I also have a few months old baby nephew whom I love. I spent two summers nannying for a 2 and 7 years old (no overnight stay) and taking care of a dog and the house as well. I believe in grace with children but also discipline for not listening. Otherwise, they could harm themselves or others.I am also currently babysitting a two year old little boy and I have babysat a lot of different ages over the years! I just want to be a light in their day and grow as a person myself. I would also love to help out around the house!

Hello! My name is Nicole, and caring for children has been a passion of mine for many years. I’ve had the joy of working with children of all ages—from newborns to teens—and I’m experienced in caring for multiple children at once. I’m a proud mom to a 7-year-old and a 16-year-old, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I’m CPR and First-Aid certified, a non-smoker, and have a clean driving record. I’d be happy to provide references and would love the opportunity to meet or chat to see if I’d be a great fit for your family. Thank you for your time and consideration!
