A little bit about me

Hey there! I’m Ne'Vaeh — a current college student studying TV and Film Production with a minor in Community Development. I’ve always found joy in showing up for young people. I’m also on the path to becoming a substitute teacher, and I bring patience, creativity, and care into every space I’m in. From babysitting my over 30 nieces and nephews most of my life to volunteering in elementary classrooms and assistant coaching middle school volleyball I’ve always loved supporting and uplifting youth. Whether it's helping with homework, playtime, or simply being a positive role model, I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and loving environment for every child I care for.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Marygrace, and I’m a University of Maryland student with over six years of experience working with children. I’ve cared for kids through roles as a camp counselor and as a long-term babysitter at my local church, and I genuinely love supporting children as they learn, grow, and have fun.

I’m patient, responsible, and energetic, and I enjoy creating a safe and positive environment for kids. I’m comfortable helping with homework and tutoring, preparing simple meals, organizing activities, and following daily routines. I also know American Sign Language (ASL) and am happy to use it with families who prefer or benefit from it.

I have a valid driver’s license, reliable transportation to get to and from work, and I’m available to start ASAP. I take pride in being dependable and communicative, and I’m always happy to provide references upon request.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Autumn, and I’m excited to start my babysitting journey! While I haven’t professionally babysat before, I’m a very kind, patient, and empathetic person who genuinely enjoys being around children. I recently completed military basic training and will be returning in about six months, so I’m looking forward to spending my time in between doing something meaningful and gaining experience.

I’m responsible, attentive, and always willing to learn. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family, make your little ones feel comfortable and cared for, and hopefully become someone you can trust! 💕

A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Sally and I live in College Park, Md. Our 4 children are now young adults.

I’m a firm believer in helping all kids learn how to express themselves, love learning, reading, physical fun, discover nature, draw and sing, while also learning to be kind to themselves and to others.
I am not a big fan of too much smartphone, tv or video game use, but defer to each families’ best balance of this ever-present challenge.

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in College Park, 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 College Park can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

College Park 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.
