I would recommend Francesca wholeheartedly. She has watched my two young children a few times and each time they were excited to see her and felt comfortable quickly. She has been very communicative, thorough, and reliable.

Shakeeva is super professional in communications and great with kids. She engaged with both of our boys immediately after first meeting them, even though they were shy. She was great at drawing them out to talk and get to know her better. Since that first time they have had dance parties, done crafts, and had a lot of fun. We definitely plan on using her services moving forward and highly recommend her.

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 :)

As a single parent to an only child, I often see the heavy lifting of motherhood as a labor of love. The day in and day out, rinse and repeat, and everything in between. I reached out to Alyssa and when I knew I needed a break and for my daughter to be in good, safe, loving care. She loves on, cared for, and entertained Noella for a longer stretch of time than originally intended and for that I am so grateful. From getting through school work, healthy food and snacks, early morning fun, to movies or taking on playing in the water; Alyssa’s attentiveness to my ADHD daughter was memorable and I for that I couldn’t recommend her enough! Five stars. 10/10!!!
Clara M.

Hello! My name is Clara, and I am a 26 year-old Registered Nurse (RN) in Pediatrics. I received my first BS in Psychology at Haverford College in 2022, and went back to school for an accelerated BS in Nursing at Villanova University in 2023-2024. I am currently working full-time in Pediatrics in the hospital. :) I have nearly 10 years of babysitting and nannying experience in both the private home-care and professional academic sectors, and have been so fortunate to amass an incredible circle of clients that have followed me through many years and much growth. I love this work and I feel incredibly excited and blessed to be able to expand my experience and passion into the healthcare sector. I am still working regularly for many of my long-time clients — and even with nursing my full-time job, I am still excited and motivated to continue my "home" jobs and enjoy a change of pace from the rigor of the hospital setting. While I am not currently able to accept any full-time or regular-recurring new clients, due to my full-time schedule at the hospital, I would be glad to chat regarding occasional babysitting needs and opportunities for date nights, weekends, holidays, etc. I am still open to taking clients on in this capacity, and would be glad to connect on this front!! :) (Please note: due to my years of experience and my RN licensure, I can assure you that I will provide a high tier of attentive, customized, educated care for your children of all ages and unique intricacies. As such, my starting rate at this time is now $28/hr. Please feel free to send me a message if you would like to discuss my scale for multiple children and inquire about options. Thank you so much for your understanding in advance).

Clara is wonderful! She’s always on time and very sweet. She’s great with our son and was really put to the test when he became stomach sick while under her care. She was quick to give us an update and remained calm and took such great care comforting him ❤️ We would definitely recommend her !

Very competent, reliable, friendly. Nya promptly helped me address my urgent childcare need, really saving my day. She clearly is an expert and knows what matters to parents when trusting their kids with a new sitter. Perfect experience from beginning to end. She even took the time post-care to share some very useful activity tips for me and my toddler.

Hi! My name is María and I’m the second oldest of 9 children so childcare is second nature to me. I’ve been babysitting since I was 13 years old and have babysat kids as young as 3 months and as old as 14. My previous experience includes sitting at homes, overnight, and other determined locations. I love being with kids and I appreciate the opportunity to take part in sharing the joy and warmth children spread.

Maria was amazing! We interviewed her in April 2025, and both my husband and I were very impressed. We had her for a trial day, and our newborn (8 weeks!) loved her. She arrived on time and was incredibly polite and proactive. Maria jumped right in, and while our little one was napping, she helped with cleaning up bottles, washing baby clothes, etc. When baby woke up, Maria read her stories and played with her on the bouncer. We plan to have her spend time with our little one again soon.

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.
