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 Name is Holly. I have a passion for children of all ages. I have a bachelors in child development as well as an associates in early childhood. I love watching children light up when they learn something new. I enjoy being a nanny because there is so much flexibility in the way you can teach a young child. You can take children outside and on field trips, you can change the environment in which a child needs to stay active and engaged. I am Cpr/ first aid certified until 2023. I have nannied for military families and my husband is active duty stationed at Dover Afb. I understand military life being a spouse.

I am a dedicated and nurturing caregiver with over 10 years of hands-on experience as a stay-at-home mom, providing consistent, loving care in a home-based environment. Throughout the years, I’ve also gained extensive babysitting experience and have volunteered within local schools, giving me a well-rounded understanding of children’s needs both at home and in educational settings. I hold college education credits, First Aid and CPR certifications, and a paraprofessional certification. I have experience working with children of varying ages, including children with special needs, and I approach every child with patience, empathy, and compassion. Supporting children emotionally, academically, and creatively is at the heart of my caregiving style. Creativity plays a big role in my daily routines. I love incorporating arts and crafts, hands-on learning activities, and age-appropriate educational experiences that encourage curiosity, self-expression, and confidence. I believe learning should feel fun, engaging, and meaningful, and I strive to create a safe, structured, and flexible environment where children can thrive. I am adaptable, reliable, and deeply passionate about child development. My goal as a nanny is to support each child’s individual strengths while fostering a love of learning, kindness, and creativity in everything we do together.

I’ve grown up around younger siblings and cousins, so caring for children has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. What experience do I have? I have experience with children of all ages. I currently substitute teach across all grade levels, which has helped me understand a wide range of developmental stages and learning styles. I also used to mentor kids, giving me even more one-on-one experience supporting their emotional and academic growth. On top of that, I’ve always taken care of younger siblings and family members, which has given me years of hands-on experience in childcare. What skills and training do I have? I earned a technical diploma through a Teaching Academy program and completed multiple child development classes in high school. I’m also a licensed paraprofessional and CPR/First Aid certified. My training has prepared me to handle daily routines, learning activities, and unexpected situations calmly and confidently. Overall, I bring patience, creativity, and professional childcare training to every family I work with, and I’m committed to helping kids feel safe, supported, and excited to be themselves.

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!
