Find experienced child care providers in Harrington, DE

After receiving my RN in 1991 I worked in various aspects of nursing. Since I retired I have been sitting with a girl for the past 3 years, she is now age 9. I picked her up from school and we would do homework, chores and crafts together. I work for this family on an as needed basis at present. I am looking for a similar part time permanent job at this time.

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!

I'm the oldest of five children, and I currently work at a middle school as a paraprofessional. I've been a nanny for about a year to a 2-3 year old, and I love kids of all ages! I love planning fun and new experiences, and I love bonding with children, making them feel loved, seen, and cared for.
