A little bit about me

I am 16 and have been taking care of children since 13. I homeschooled in 7th and 8th grade. I baby sat weekly 2 little girls in the am for 4 hours and in the afternoon in 9th grade after school I baby sat 2 little boys from 3-8 pm. 3 days a week and some weekends. I love children! I grew up in and around my mother’s childcare center she ran/owned for 18 yrs. I know a lot about child development more than you might typically find in other 16 yr olds because of this. I am creative and love to bake and do hands on type activities with the children.Since I can’t drive yet and my mom is staying home now she can drive me to you or your welcome to bring your children to me. I can do homework with them, read to them, bath routines etc . I feel I can communicate with the parents really welI. I like to give updates and send pictures to the parents of the children's activities.. I can work all day Wed. and Sat.. I can work from 4:00- 8:30 on Mon. , Tues., Thurs.. Fri. from 3:30 pm-12 am.

Recent reference

"Shanna is very positive and responsible. She was great with communication and was impressive with her maturity about all situations. She watched my two boys one night, where a neighbor was trying to enter the home unwelcoming and she protected my boys by running with them into the room and called the police. I was so thankful she was smart and did not let her emotions get the best of her. Very impressed with Shanna."

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

Elkridge 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.
