A little bit about me

Hello my name is Madison Wood, I’m an 18 year old graduate with 6 years of childcare experience. I learned everything i know from my mother who was a nanny of 12 years. I like to read paint and do all sorts of puzzles. During my high school years i was in a baking and pastry magnet program where i learned how to make all kinds of foods like yeast doughs, baked goods, pizza from scratch etc any baked good you can think of i can make. I worked for a nanny agency for 2 years with my mom [phone number hidden]as well as worked at mcdonald’s for a year and 3 months feb 2025-jun2026. I recently started a my job at Pizza Hut in July 2026. I can be trusted with your child(ren) because i am very good at keeping kids productive/entertained without screen time. I am great with following set schedules, de-escalating situations, as well as keeping them active by having outside time(guardians permission of course) and doing brain activities that will help them learn and keep them stimulated.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Frances and I’m 18 years old. I’m a caring, patient, and responsible person who enjoys spending time with children. I have experience helping care for my 1-year-old niece, who I sometimes babysit on weekends. I help with things like feeding her, changing her, playing with her, keeping her safe, and helping with naps.

I’m comfortable preparing simple meals and snacks, keeping children entertained with games and activities, and making sure they are safe and well cared for. I’m reliable and always try to create a positive and fun environment for kids.

I’m especially comfortable with infants and toddlers and would love the opportunity to help families who need a trustworthy and attentive nanny.

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Baltimore, MD

Before beginning the search for a babysitter, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a babysitter is the right choice for your child care needs. There are lots of benefits to hiring a babysitter such as getting the flexibility of having some more time for yourself or with your partner. When hiring a babysitter, first, you should explore the differences between a nanny and a babysitter. If you’re looking for occasional child care, babysitters are the right choice for you, but if you’re looking for more frequent care, a nanny may be better for your needs.

From there, you can think about what you expect your babysitter to handle so that you can create a profile for nannies to reach out to you. The boundaries for babysitters’ duties can vary from family to family. However, in general, a babysitter is responsible for making sure your kids’ needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example to housekeeping, laundry, or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your babysitter before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location in Baltimore can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Baltimore Babysitter Interviews

Once you start connecting with prospective babysitters, the next step is to conduct an interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some babysitter interview questions to consider asking:

  • Do you have experience being a babysitter?
  • What sort of household tasks are you open and comfortable doing?
  • Do you have any references?
  • Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in Maryland?
  • Do you have a Maryland driver’s license? Do you own a car?
  • How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?

During the hiring process, it’s essential to ask for references and by asking their references questions you gain a better understanding of they will fit in your family. As you get closer to hiring a nanny, be sure to run a background check to ensure your kids are in good hands. When evaluating a babysitter that you’re considering hiring, make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your babysitter. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around babysitter responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming!

And of course, as you learn how to hire a babysitter, Nanny Lane's nanny services are here to help you along the way.
