Hi! I’m Isis, and I’ve always loved working with kids. I have four younger siblings, so caring for children has been a big part of my life for years. Along with helping raise them, I’ve babysat children ranging from 4 months to 13 years old and also worked in a daycare/summer program for a year. I’m patient, responsible, and love creating a fun, safe, and caring environment where kids feel comfortable and parents can have peace of mind. Whether we’re playing games, helping with homework, sticking to routines, or just making the day enjoyable, I always treat every child with the same care and attention I’d give my own family.
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 Deyona, and I have hands-on experience in childcare, senior care, pet care, and household services. I’ve worked with families of all ages, providing reliable, compassionate care that’s tailored to each individual’s needs. Whether it’s caring for children, assisting seniors with daily tasks, looking after pets, or helping maintain a clean and organized home, I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and trustworthy. I genuinely enjoy helping others and creating a safe, comfortable environment for the people (and pets!) I care for.
Hi, my name is Paige! I am 31 years old. I grew up in New Jersey and went to school at the University of Maryland in College Park. I have a variety of experiences caring for pets. I grew up with cats and 2 dogs so I love both and I identify as a cat person and a dog person :) (we also had the occasional mouse, bunny, and fish). In adulthood, I became the designated pet sitter for all my friends' adorable animals. In my opinion, the most impactful experience I have had is over the last few years I've had the honor of working with Best Friend Dog and Animal Adoption, Inc. or BFDAAA in New Jersey fostering dogs. Caring for animals who are in dire need of love, comfort, and security while they look for forever homes brings me more fulfillment in my life than anything else. Additionally, I have taken care of friend's homes and plants while they are away. It helps that I have had plants of my own for years so I know how to keep them alive! I would be an excellent house and pet sitter because I am reliable, I am trustworthy, and I am responsible. You can count on me to make sure all the I's are dotted and T's are crossed. My love for all living things will ensure that your pet(s) gets the best care possible while you are away. I am also a great cleaner, can water your plants, and do anything else around the house that you need me to do.
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!”
