Kelly $20 per hour for 1 child

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!

Sharon $28 per hour for 1 child

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

Tiayanna $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Tiayanna (T-T to the littles’) I’m a 28 year old, in school and a mom! I am a well experienced nanny/caretaker with about 8 years experience. I’m looking for a new family for a few days out of the week while my children are in school. My classes are online, so I am very flexible with scheduling. I have been a head teacher at Wee-Care Childcare center for over 2 years, then turned over to nannying and have been a helping hand for families ever since! As a more experienced nanny I was able to care for the sweetest of newborn cuties to the most fun and active 4 year olds. Our days would consist of daily walks to the park to play with our friends in the neighborhood, trips to fun outdoor places. We would also have craft days and indoor activities that are so fun and creative all while developing appropriate skills! I help prepare lunches, transportation like to and from school and nap time. I also help the parents with light house work like laundry, dishes and just keeping everything tidy. I’m also a mother so I like to think I just have a motherly feel. Im very bubbly, energetic and have a caring personality that always makes the kids feel loved! And mostly, RELIABLE. Im looking for a long-time family so if you’re interested, I hope we are the right fit for each other!
