Abby 1 review
Wilmington
$15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Abby and I am 20 years old. With 8 years of babysitting experience, I genuinely love working with kids and always prioritize their safety and fun! I'm currently a junior at the University of Delaware, studying psychology, which further fuels my passion for understanding and engaging with children. I have been a lifeguard at Jungle Jim’s water park and have taken many babysitting and CPR training courses so I know what to do in those situations to keep your child safe as well.

Abby is my daughter and I would highly recommend her as a babysitter/caregiver. Abby is a natural when it comes to children. Abby has been CPR certified and babysitter certified in the past and is working toward recertification. Abby was a lifeguard at Jungle Jims Water Park and worked as a swim instructor at Goldfish swim school. Abby has babysat my friend’s children and children that live in the neighborhood. Abby is playful and fun and children seem to be drawn to her. Abby is warm and caring and will be an excellent babysitter/caregiver.

Riley Wilmington
$25 per hour for 1 child

Nurturing a child's curiosity and watching them reach new milestones is my greatest passion. With four years of experience caring for up to three children, I have developed a creative and imaginative approach to keeping kids engaged. I am equally comfortable leading outdoor sports and physical games as I am settling in for board games and puzzles. My background includes First Aid Training and CPR Training, ensuring your little ones remain safe while we explore. Since I am a skilled swimmer, I am happy to provide swimming supervision during pool time. I prioritize your family's preferences by following your lead on household rules and your chosen method for daily communication. I am also happy to assist with cooking, meal preparation, carpooling, and light housekeeping. I truly look forward to becoming a supportive, positive presence in your children's lives.

Additionally, I’m in the process of potentially transferring into an elementary and middle school education major at University of Delaware.

She was on time and helped us when we were in a pinch last minute.

Hello wonderful parents! My name is Roazia and I'm currently attending Deltech in the IT program. I am also a mother to two beautiful children, a boy (4 years old), and a girl (3 years old).

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."

Eric D., dad of two
