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.

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.

Hello! I’ve always enjoyed working with kids, and I love being a sitter because it allows me to support families while creating fun and positive experiences for their little ones. I previously worked at a learning center, where I gained experience with children of different ages and learned how to create engaging, educational activities. I’m patient, reliable, and I enjoy keeping kids entertained with crafts, games, and hands-on fun. I am CPR + First Aid certified, and as a current college nursing major, I take safety and care very seriously. Communication is very important to me, I will always make sure parents feel updated and comfortable. My goal is to ensure both parents and children feel comfortable, cared for, and confident while I’m with their little ones. I’d love to be someone your family can depend on.

Hi, my name is Alyssa and I am so excited to meet you! I’m currently a sophomore at Del Technical Community College, pursuing an Early Childhood Education degree. My experience with babysitting/nannying as of right now I am working with a family and taking care of their son but I started when I was in the 5th and 6th grade when my aunt was running an at-home daycare and I used to help her when I got out of school to entertain the kids and watch over them. When I got into middle school I started to watch my three cousins I still do to this day. When COVID hit and we had to do school online my cousin stayed with me and my mom for a month or two and I was responsible for helping her with her homework and waking her up on time so she could get on Zoom. I also used to help my cousin watch a family friend of hers newborn baby and their young son. Then I occasionally watch my neighbor's younger daughter when she comes over and plays on the weekend or sometimes when she gets off the bus. As of right now I do have a 6-year-old boy I watch we go outside explore, pretend play using his imagination do fun activities, craft things, and watch kid-friendly shows and movies. I wait to meet your family!

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!
