Alyssa G., Child Care in Wilmington, DE 19808 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Alyssa Ghilardi, I am 30 years old and live in New Castle, Delaware! I am the oldest of 7 siblings and have 5 nieces and nephews all under 10 years old. I was a paid babysitter from 12 years old through college. So, plenty of experience with children! I have watched up to three children and have cousins who were twins that I grew up babysitting. I paused once I started my career. However, I am currently starting my own business and am newly pregnant! Looking for flexible work that I can enjoy as I prepare for this new chapter of life. I host hikes in Delaware as part of a women’s hiking group to which I am required to be First Aid & CPR certified! I am an athlete, a gardener, love cooking and arts & crafts so I often find many ways to connect with children! I have completed my education through my MBA and am more than happy to help with homework. I am confident and comfortable with light housekeeping, helping with errands, drop-offs and pick-ups. Looking to find a family I can support and work with on a regular basis. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! Here to help :)

Catherine K., Child Care in Wilmington, DE 19808 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!

Corrine B., Child Care in Wilmington, DE 19808 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.
