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, I'm Jadyn! I'm a friendly and patient childcare provider with six years of experience, and I truly enjoy supporting families. It's a privilege to offer reliable childcare, and my previous babysitting roles have deepened my love for caring for children. I prioritize open communication with parents, keeping them updated on their child's day and addressing any concerns that arise. I believe in following the parents' lead on household rules, as every family has its own way of doing things. I love engaging kids in various activities, from outdoor sports and board games to educational games that make learning fun, arts and crafts are my personal favorite! I'm comfortable caring for children ranging from toddlers to preteens. With some college education (still in school) and certifications in CPR and First Aid, you can trust that your kids are in safe hands. I have a car, and am comfortable with pets. I look forward to creating a fun and nurturing environment for your little ones!

Why do I love being a sitter? I genuinely love being a sitter because working with children has always come naturally to me.

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.

Hi my name is Jada. A little about myself: I have always had a love and passion for children. There is something so amazing about being able to teach them. I graduated high school over a year ago and am now attending Delaware Tech, pursuing elementary education. I do school via online. I am a very energetic and highly attentive person. I love to do fun activities with the kids because you always get to see just how quick they catch on while also enjoying themselves. Kids have always taken to me from my youth. I would love to have the opportunity to help your children learn and grow. I also had nannies growing up and the 3 I do remember were the ones who showed my brother and I the most love. I would be honored to bring that same fun, safety, and love to your home. 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. They're such a delight, and I believe in making both them and the parents comfortable and safe. Being almost twenty, I bring a lot of fun, (yet very safe :) ) energy, and I've done everything from meal prep to full-day activity-planning. I can only work after school hours because of my full-time work schedule, and I can be consistent and on-standby however I'm needed!

Hi my name is Cass, I am a 20-year-old college student and have been babysitting since I was in seventh grade. I have two younger sisters. And cousins ranging from newborn to 14 so I have always gravitated towards caring for kiddos. I enjoy doing crafts and can help them do their homework. I am CPR, first aid and epipen trained. I also work at an assisted living facility. With my CPR and BLS certification, along with being a licensed Medication Technician through the Maryland State Nursing Board, I bring a wealth of experience to babysitting and caregiving. Since the age of 10, I've cared for my grandma and younger cousins, honing my caregiving skills. Additionally, over the past five years, I've provided pet sitting services for family and friends on a recurring basis. These experiences have not only equipped me with the necessary knowledge and skills but have also instilled in me a deep sense of responsibility and care when looking after others, both human and animal alike.

I am a 20 year old college student, majoring in nursing. I have multiple younger siblings so for as long as I can remember I have been babysitting and looking over children. I have worked in various child care facilities across the country as well. I am a fun babysitter who pays attention to detail. I am a very creative person as well so I can keep the children engaged but I am also big on prioritization, so appropriately after chores and/or homework. In addition to babysitting, I have been part-time tutor for about 5 years now.
