Booked by 1 family in Delaware, OH

I have worked as a classroom assistant for childcare center from 2[removed]. I helped teachers supervise children during play, implement lessons, and help during bathroom/diapering. I worked with ages 6 weeks to 6 years-old. I have a BA in Psychology and also hold a MSW and was a child and family therapist for 10 years. Currently, I am transitioning to focus on writing and music career, and would like part time work to support myself. I'm flexible, independent, and fun. I believe in making children feel safe above all things. I love music, art, dance, and games and share those activities with children. I am dancer with education and teaching experience in ballet, tap, jazz, modern, and musical theater. I have play piano and bass currently.

It’s our first time working with Angelique. So far our 1 and 2 year old didn’t fuss. They played with her and did not cry

Taeler $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Taeler! I’m currently a full time preschool teacher with infants. As a childcare provider with five years of experience, I'm dedicated to creating a nurturing and stimulating environment for children. My journey began when I discovered my passion for childcare through previous babysitting roles. I find great joy in positively impacting children's lives and supporting families. Patience, creativity, problem solving, and approachability are my key strengths. I believe in open communication with parents, providing daily written reports (if needed) and engaging in verbal discussions during pickup. I'm confident in enforcing household rules to ensure a safe and structured environment. From board games and puzzles to educational games that promote learning, I enjoy a wide range of activities with children. I'm comfortable caring for up to four children, aged between 0 and 11 particularly focusing on the 0-3 age group. I'm happy to assist with light housekeeping tasks, and I hold current First Aid Training and CPR Training certifications.

Wendy $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I’m Wendy and I love working with kids of all ages and all types of pets! I have done a lot of babysitting over the years and have a 17 year old son. I have a lot of experience with cats, dogs and horses as well. I work part time for a chiropractor as the office manager, but we’re a newer business so we don’t have enough patients to be there full time. I have a positive attitude and I’m compassionate and understanding. Reading and doing activities with kids are some of my favorite things to do while babysitting. My hobbies include reading, horseback riding and spending time with our 3 cats and 1 dog. I hope to hear from you and have an opportunity to meet your kids and or pets!

Montserrat $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m Monse, and I truly enjoy spending time with children and helping them learn, play, and grow. I used to be an Au Pair and I took care of kids of different ages (from toddlers to school-age children) I also worked in a kids’ party room, where I organized games and activities, and have done occasional babysitting for several families. I’m a patient, caring, and responsible person who loves creating a fun and safe environment for kids. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing outdoors, or doing arts and crafts, I always do my best to make every moment positive and engaging. I’d love to bring my experience, energy, and warmth to your family! I’m a big animal lover and have experience caring for small and medium-sized dogs, but I’m always open to discussing other sizes too! I enjoy taking dogs for walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel loved, safe, and comfortable while their owners are away. Let’s connect!!
