Catherine K., Child Care in Newark, DE 19711 with 4 years of paid experience

Hiya! My name is Catherine, I’m 25 years old and I live in the Newark DE area. I’m the 3rd oldest of 6 girls. I know. I’m a very energetic person! I’ve played sports my whole life such as soccer, swim, volleyball, and basketball. I adore the outdoors, hiking is a hobby of mine along with art (painting). Becoming a caregiver of some sort has always been an interest of mine. My goal is to help children and families in need around the world by entering in programs to go volunteer in. But before I can do that, I want to help my local families as well. I want to give a helping hand to families that need that extra hand. I can work early morning, late evenings, or even over night if needed. Last minute night out? No problem! Help is on the way dear!

Veronica is an absolutely wonderful babysitter. She is professional, responsive, flexible, and incredibly kind. My 6-month-old son’s face lights up when he sees her, which says it all. Her calm, confident energy and experience with infants immediately put me at ease. It’s clear she truly loves what she does. I feel so lucky to have found her and can’t recommend her highly enough!

Leah O., Child Care in Newark, DE 19711 with 12 years of paid experience

I’m a evening and overnight caregiver excited to work part time with your family! I love kids and getting involved in what kids are doing - cuddling sleepy newborns, playing house, and making pillow forts are just a few of those activities. I’m passionate about helping kids grow. I’m a University of Delaware graduate and former social worker. About my experience as a caregiver: -Newborn Care Specialist (formerly called a night nurse) -I’ve been a first caregiver outside of family members for many families -12 years of experience -I have experience with twins -I have experience with children with a variety of differing needs (speech delays, Autism, OCD, ADHD, nightmares, separation anxiety, keeping track of hearing aids) -I’m comfortable with furry pets and small amphibians but not with snakes, spiders, or birds -I am vaccinated against covid, flu, TDaP (covers whooping cough), along with all other typical vaccines My preferences with a family: -Consistent and open communication -Planning via text or messaging -I respect your screen time routines but I prefer low or no screen time The obvious: -I will arrive and stay sober to watch your child (this includes not consuming nicotine or vaping) -I won’t eat your food -I will be on time -I will respect your rules and routines -I will speak to your child with respect and kindness -Your child is my main focus We might not be a great match if… -You need someone available last minute -You practice physical discipline -You yell at service providers -You criminally endanger children, housemates, or visitors Feel free to run a background check! You’ll find a couple of traffic violations (e.g. parking tickets) and nothing else. I have excellent references that are available upon request. Thanks!

Leah babysat my kids, aged 12 and 7, for two weeks over the summer. She was with them every weekday for between 4 and 8 hours, and managed to keep them entertained and off their computer screens -- which is something of a miracle! She was very good at playing board games, drawing with them and taking them on short outings. Despite the fact that my 12-year-old son and my 7-year-old daughter have very different personalities, she managed to keep them both happy. She is a compassionate person who understands kids, and she is organized and competent.

I am great with children. I am a stay at home mother of three. Ages, 18,13, and 9. My kids are also really well behaved, and love children. I live in West Grove, and I could watch your baby at my home?

Sherri was a great nanny to our son from 4 months to 1 year old. She was very attentive with him and became part of our family. You can clearly see that she loves babies/children. She also sat for our 5 and 9 year old for date nights and they absolutely loved her and had so much fun. She brought all of her background/certification info the first day and was very organized with that. I would highly recommend Sherri as a nanny.

If I could give Angeline 12 of 1-10 I would. She’s just that dependable. She did an excellent job communicating and very punctual. Finding someone dependable was my goal here along with the safely of my kid and she provided exactly that. I am very happy with Angeline’s services.

Victoria P., Child Care in Newark, DE 19711 with 3 years of paid experience

I had worked with children in voluntary work and childcare centers. Both experiences were very significant for me because I learned a lot about life and growth when I was around children. Being an independent worker also allows me to dedicate time to my hobbies and passions like cinema, writing, and arts. I earned a bachelor's degree in communication and audiovisual arts from Venezuela, where I am originally from. This means I am fluent in Spanish and could offer lessons to children if you are interested. In almost two years in the States, I've worked in two childcare centers. In Venezuela, during the pandemic, I did voluntary work with school-age children in the community to assist them with remote lessons and homework. Because of my daycare experience, I have basic training in Pediatric CPR and first Aid and some educational certifications.

Corrine B., Child Care in Newark, DE 19711 with 7 years of paid experience

My name is Corrine. I'm 21 years old and a nursing student. I previously attended Widener University and am now taking a summer class at Delaware Tech through the first week of July. I’ll be continuing at Del Tech in the fall. I commute to campus and live near the University of Delaware. I’ve been working with kids since I was 14—starting as a volunteer at a local summer camp and babysitting for families in my neighborhood. At 16, I was hired by the camp, and I now work with the City of Newark’s before and after care program. I currently babysit for several families I’ve known for years, and I truly enjoy what I do. I love building relationships with kids and watching their personalities grow. It’s rewarding to be someone they can rely on and feel safe with, whether we’re playing games, reading books, or just talking. I really value being part of their support system and creating fun, positive experiences for them. I have experience with children as young as 6–8 months all the way up to 13 years old. I’ve cared for kids with a variety of needs, including epilepsy, Down syndrome, autism, ADHD/ADD, mobility impairments, and partial blindness. My experience spans casual babysitting, structured care in before/after-school programs, and summer camps. As a nursing student, I’ve completed coursework in child development, basic first aid, and safety. I’m CPR certified and trained in how to respond to seizures, allergic reactions, and other common emergencies. I’m also comfortable with feeding, diapering, bedtime routines, and light housekeeping.

Hi, My name is Sharon, and Rachel has been the full-time nanny for my little girl (now 19 months old) for over a year and she is AMAZING! I work from home several days a week so I am around to see the care she is taking of my daughter, and I have been very happy with everything. My daughter is excited to see Rachel every day and Rachel keeps her fully occupied. They love to go on walks together when the weather is nice, and she drives her to gym classes a few times a week. She is VERY patient with my little girl, and I often hear them giggling which makes me smile as a mom! Please feel free to contact me if you would like any more feedback. You would be very lucky to get her!! Sharon 301-332-5076

Crystal C., Child Care in Newark, DE 19711 with 18 years of paid experience

Hi, I have been babysitting for most of my life about 19 plus years whether it was for siblings(2) or the neighborhood children.I've been told that I am a piped piper of children and I love it, watching the children's faces light up when the are learning something new and playing and having a good time.I do know CPR and FirstAid skills and I am a Professional Personal Chef which comes in handy for the parent who always ask the question "what's for dinner".Also through my church I run the children's choir and children's sunday school ages(4 thru 16) which is part of my Children's ministry. Even though I don't have children of my own yet I am passionate for children.I volunteer in my church and surrounding community.My caregiving philosophy is "It takes a village to raise a child" meaning everyone can help and needs help(good help old school values and manners). Boardgames are my favorite!!!
