Hi! My name is Eva and I am a full-time college student with a light schedule this semester. I have a lot of experience working with kids including being a part-time nanny and a camp counselor for 5 years. I've worked with families through Care.com along with helping friends and family. I have experience with kids aged 2-13. I also have experience with kids with special needs. I am open to mostly anything if given your time to make sure everything is in order before I look after your kiddos! :)
Hi! I’m Kelly, and I’m excited to offer babysitting as a fun and flexible side-gig. I have an associate’s degree as an ultrasound technologist and currently work as a software developer, so I bring both a medical background and strong problem-solving skills to my caregiving style. I have experience caring for my 6-month-old niece and have babysat friends’ children ranging from toddlers to teens (ages 2 to 15). I’ve also supported seniors and have plenty of experience with pets—I have both cats and dogs—so I’m very comfortable helping with multi-care households. I love caregiving because kids are genuinely fun to be around, and I enjoy creating an environment that’s safe, engaging, and nurturing. I’d describe my approach as “fun but firm”—I like to keep things playful while still maintaining structure. A little about me: I enjoy playing the ukulele, singing, and sewing. I’m creative, patient, and love bringing activities that spark imagination and joy. I’d love the opportunity to support your family!
Hi, my name is Sarajah I am a sophomore in college and I am located in Delaware. I have experience working with family and friends children from infants to adolescence. I love children and can provide excellent care and fun activities. I am cpr certified, observant, cheerful, and patient.
About Me: Hi! My name is Trezoir, and I’m 20 years old. I’m currently a college student at Delaware State University, majoring in Music Industry and Psychology. I’ve always enjoyed helping others, especially children, and I love creating fun, engaging, and safe experiences for them. Services I Offer: I provide child care and pet care services. I have 4–5 years of childcare experience and 4–5 years of animal care experience (I’m comfortable around pets of all kinds!). Child Care Experience: I’ve worked with toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children, helping them with daily routines, playtime, and light learning activities. I enjoy spending time doing arts and crafts, outdoor play, music and dancing, and reading together. Activities I Enjoy With Children: • Creative projects like painting, coloring, and crafts • Singing and dancing (especially since I study music!) • Outdoor fun such as park trips, sidewalk chalk, and sports • Reading and story time • Helping with homework or basic tutoring when needed Special Skills & Talents: • Tutoring and homework help in basic subjects • Cooking and preparing kid-friendly meals/snacks • Artistic and musical activities (I love to introduce kids to music and creativity!) • Strong communication and patience skills, especially with younger children Certifications/Training: While I’m not currently certified, I have hands-on experience through years of babysitting for families and volunteering with children and also working at summer camps. I’m also open to completing CPR or First Aid certification if needed. Why I Babysit: Babysitting is something I truly enjoy doing in my free time. It allows me to continue learning about child development while gaining experience that will help me in my future psychology career. I take pride in being caring, responsible, and trustworthy — someone parents can count on and kids can have fun with!
Hi - My name is Sharon and I am seeking a part time child care position within 25 mins. of home in North Wilmington DE. I live in the artist community of Arden. I'm a lifelong caregiver/nanny/mother, a music director/professional musician and a private music teacher. My experience in caregiving is extensive and I love kids, with a particular soft spot for babies. I was last certified in CPR/AED and first aid in 2018 and would be willing to recertify if requested. My most recent employer is a wonderful family in Newark, DE. I cared for their son from when he was 2 1/2 mos. old to 4 years old when he started school full time. We still spend at least one day a month together - they are family. This platform is new to me so no reviews here yet; I have excellent recommendations and reviews on care.com and Gigsalad.com under my name. Some of my strengths include patience, humor, dependability and experience. I also have professional qualifications in the arts (writing, music - both performance and teaching) with significant skills in drawing and photography. Your child will benefit from games, art, movement, time in nature, music, and more. I believe in creating structure, lovingly set and maintained, for the stable nurturing environment this creates for a child. My presence is closer to an energetically and mentally young grandparent than a college student. Working my entire life in the arts and with young children has gifted me with a sense of joy, curiosity and fun as well as the dependability and experience needed to care for your child. My hope is that being in my 60's is not held against me, as I am not your average sixties child. I look forward to hearing from you, Sharon
