My name is Farrah, and I’m a second-year Biological Sciences major at Delaware State University with a 3.5 GPA. I’m passionate about working with children and families and am currently seeking babysitting or nannying opportunities where I can bring my enthusiasm, responsibility, and care.I have over 60 hours of volunteer experience in community health and outreach programs, where I assisted at health fairs, local clinics, and wellness events. Through these experiences, I’ve developed strong communication, time management, and interpersonal skills—qualities that are essential when working with children. Additionally, I am certified in both CPR and First Aid, and I have a valid driver’s license. I’m also involved in the Medical Organization on campus, which supports my commitment to health and safety in all settings. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and provide a safe, nurturing environment for your children. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or to discuss availability.
I am currently only available for date nights, weekends, and holidays. My name is Sarah and I am a graduate of Fordham University at Lincoln Center in New York City. I have taken courses in Early Childhood and Special Education. I spent awhile in graduate school at the University of Massachusetts. I currently live in Delaware and work as an archaeologist for the State. I started babysitting for people outside my family when I was twelve, and so I've been babysitting for about 14 years now. I have two younger siblings that I have watched for much longer than that. I have watched newborns up to teenagers. I have done everything from a full time nannying position to a mother's helper to just date night sitting. I have experience with large groups of children, through working with both mothers groups and running crafts and activities at a small toy store. I also have experience with children with autism and various special needs. I have worked with children with Downs, but I have the most experience with autistic children. I have worked in several preschool as a substitute. I love taking the kids outside to play. I've been told I can play a mean game of Princess Wizard Ninja make-believe. If it's not a great day outside, I love playing games with the kids inside. I bond with kids using their interests to engage them in age appropriate activities. I do have access to a car and I don't mind running errands or helping with household chores and cooking. I also have no problem with pets in the household. I am more than happy to meet in person or schedule a phone/Skype interview before watching your children. I am more than happy to provide references as well!
“We were nervous about hiring a babysitter out of state to watch our kids during a wedding, but Sarah quickly put us at ease. She received rave reviews from our 4 year old and 2 year old. We would certainly hire her again if we lived in the area. Thank you, Sarah, for your help!”
