I am a retired project manager looking for part time work and started searching nanny/sitter jobs after several friends and family suggested I look into this, mentioning how well my children were raised.

Karen was the best. So sad she moved away, she was our go to babysitter. She was exactly what I need as an anxious mom who had a hard time letting go of control, she provided all the comfort I needed and more to get me out the door and enjoy a night out that my husband and I so desperately needed. She takes control, asks all the right questions, is playful, respectful, cares for your children as if they were her own and is a great communicator. Whichever new family gets to be graced with Karen's presence is a lucky one. Our loss is your gain.

I am a married empty nester with 3 grown daughters and six granddaughters. I live in Lewes, Delaware and am a certified substitute teacher with completed criminal background check. My latest experience has been with infants and toddlers. I have sat for a family for over seven years. When I began they had one daughter a year old. A year later their precious little boy was born. He is now nine years old and I have been caring for him since he was less than a month old 4 times a week. Since he is in school now, I am looking to become a "member" of another family for years to come. I currently sit for two little boys who are four and two once a week and have done so for nearly two years I absolutely love children of all ages and am capable of bathing , changing diapers, bottle feeding, swaddling reading, taking on walks, doing children's laundry, library,movies or whatever else their age dictates. I can play indoor and outdoor games, read if they are old enough. No matter what age they are, I enjoy being outside, playing or walking with their strollers or wagons. I will abide and enforce any rules you have regarding snacks, television, etc. All of these families will be happy to provide references on my behalf.

Jeanne was wonderful! She was available with relatively short notice to watch our 17-month old while on a weekend in Rehoboth. She kept us updated, put him to bed, and was flexible with our return time when a dinner ran long.

I am thrilled at the opportunity of supporting your family! My professional journey in childcare began as a YMCA camp counselor, and over the past four years, I have dedicated myself to creating nurturing, enriching home environments for multiple families as a nanny. I am experienced in administering medication and maintaining health protocols with precision. I am passionate about fostering growth through outdoor exploration and a shared love of reading, and I look forward to bringing that same engagement to your children. In my previous roles, I have managed comprehensive care, including meal preparation, household organization, and maintaining a secure, comfortable environment for children. I thrive in fast-paced settings and remain composed when navigating unpredictable situations. I am also happy to assist with household management, including laundry, dishes, and general organization, to ensure your home runs smoothly.

Lauren was absolutely amazing with all of our kids. She’s intelligent, respectful, and attentive to everyone in the house! I highly recommend Lauren for your family, as she was able to balance our toddler and older child with ease and they didn’t want to part from her.

Tahine was fantastic with my one year old and my 4 year old. She is a great communicator and always kept me updated on things. She was incredibly kind and patient with my 4 year old autistic child. Both my kids always looked forward to having her come babysit and continue to ask when they will get to see her again.

Why do you love being a sitter? I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy caring for children and helping them learn, grow, and feel safe. I enjoy creating fun activities, helping with routines, and being someone children can feel comfortable around. Working with children is rewarding to me because I get to support their development while also giving parents peace of mind that their child is being cared for. What experience do you have? I have several years of childcare experience, including three years as an Assistant Teacher at an early learning center. I have worked with children ages 1–4 and have experience caring for toddlers and young children in both classroom and nanny settings. My experience includes supervising children, preparing meals and snacks, helping with diapering and potty training, nap time, outdoor play, learning activities, and daily routines. I also have experience communicating with parents and working closely with other teachers to meet each child’s individual needs. What skills and training do you have? I have strong childcare skills, including patience, communication, organization, supervision, and the ability to create a safe and positive environment for children. I am comfortable planning age-appropriate activities that support learning through play, such as reading, songs, crafts, sensory activities, and outdoor play. My early learning center experience has trained me to follow routines, support positive behavior, maintain cleanliness, and respond calmly to children’s needs.
