I specialize in childcare as a Babysitter/Nanny for infants and toddlers, and i will tutor your toddler and prepare them for preK through kindergarten.

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!

I've worked at Tatnall School with children ages 4-9 years of age. I have 3 years of experience watching a child with disabilities. I love being with kids to see how creative they can be. I am super friendly, fun, and active. I have my own transportation and always on time. I'm accountable and reliable. I have a bachelors degree in business management. I just received my masters at West Chester University for Public Health. I don't mind light house keeping, pets, and doing errands. I am energetic and fun to be around with.

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!

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 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.

We had a great experience with Nicole for our date night on vacation. She watched our two daughters (7 years old and 7 months old), and it went very well. She was also very responsive initially and helpful to any questions that we had for her. We would definitely hire her again.

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.

Samantha was wonderful with our 2 young boys. She was even able to put them to bed, which is a feat! The boys were asking for her the next day, which is a sign of what a great experience they had with her too! I am looking forward to continuing to work with Samantha.

Sharon D.
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

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!!!
