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 believe children are the most precious thing and should be treated as such. My nieces and nephews are my world. I consider my little cousins and other kids in my life as my nieces and nephews as well. I spend as much time as I can with the children in my life which range from 3 months old to 17 yrs. old. The greatest thing is seeing a child smile and Hearing them laugh. It gives me a warm and satisfied feeling to see kids happy. I would do anything for a child. When it comes to me and children they come first. My concern is to make sure that kids are happy and safe. I love spending time with children and helping them in any way I can. I am not only there for the kids just to be present. I am also there to help them emotionally and mentally. I started watching other kids when I was 6 with supervision and without supervision when I was 14. I have cared for children from newborn-12yrs., and from 1 child up to 5 children at a time. I have cared for children with a veriety of different diagnosis such as autism, adha, depression, bipolar, and oppositional defiance disorder. I am young at heart. I love playing games, drawing, arts and crafts, playing with toys, teaching, reading and so much more. I like getting outside and playing games, tag, hide and seek, snow angels, snow ball fights, water gun fights, baseball, soccar, other sports, anything we can think of to do. You will get more than just a presence and safety with me. You will also get a happy and learning child.

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!

Why do I love being a sitter? I genuinely love being a sitter because working with children has always come naturally to me. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids can learn, grow, and feel understood. 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.
