Find experienced child care providers in Kennett Square, PA

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).

Hi I’m Claire! I am graduating with my nutrition and dietetics bachelors degree at West Chester University May 2023 and am on my way to becoming a registered dietitian. I have four younger siblings which has given me plenty of experience with children of all ages all my life. I started babysitting when I was 13 around my neighborhood and have cared for children of all ages. I find looking after child quite easy and fun and I see myself as an active babysitter who likes to engage with the kids like going outside and playing tag, playing a board game inside, reading books, or even helping with homework if needed. I also am a big dog person and have a 90 pound German Shepard at home. I look forward to working with your children!

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.

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.
