A little bit about me

I'm Lorraine, but my friends and my clients call me Rain.
I hold a masters degree in child development psychology and I've enjoyed many roles in my career such as mental health therapist, ABA therapist and family preservation specialist Therapist interchangeably. I am a highly driven, PASSIONATE and MOTIVATED person and am always open to new opportunities to enhance my skills and give back my knowledge to not only my child but the community as well
I especially enjoy working with developmentally challenged children because I also have a child on the nonverbal severe level of the spectrum. I sought out a job in ABA job to learn the techniques myself because we could not find him services.
I also enjoy providing mental health therapy services at my secondary job and closely work with many children and adults on varying levels of the spectrum.
A paycheck is merely a secondary reward in my eyes!

"Lorraine is such a delightful spirit! She always has a smile on her face and you can tell just from her passion and exclamatory demeanor that she is living her life at her best when nurturing children. Lorraine has a child that will never know how hard his mother strives to give him every successful opportunity in life. I couldn't say enough about her motivation, strength and determination. If you met her once, you'd completely understand how her soul speaks to the special education kiddos. She's a saint!"

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Kaylie and I have been babysitting/Nannying and Working in childcare since 2017. I began with only babysitting for family and then quickly found a love for teaching and helping families and children, so I became CPR and first aid certified in order to work outside of my family; I have YPT training as well from working at camp over the summer. I am an early childhood/ elementary education major with a creative writing minor and an English focus. I also worked at a scouts BSA camp over the summer and plan on continuing to do so while in college. I am the oldest of five children, so I have no issues taking care of large amounts of children. Since I am an education major in school I am more than willing to tutor and help with homework regardless of age group/subject. Feel free to ask me for any further information as well!

A little bit about me

I have cared for children from infants through early teens. I started helping my grandmother babysit my cousin when I was 10 years old. When I turned 12, I started babysitting him by myself. In high school I took a Careers In Education course in which I interned in a pre-k classroom. I have taken a few babysitting courses and am currently enrolled in early childhood education courses. I have volunteered in a head start classroom for about 4 years and then got hired on as an aide in the early head start classrooms before I worked as a lead teacher for about a year and a half as well as babysitting for parents in the evenings, weekends, and days off school. I currently work as an instructional assistant in the public schools. I have cared for children with special needs. I have watched children from birth to 13 years I have experience with twins and I am CPR certified. I really enjoy playing and spending time with the kids while they learn. I am looking forward to meeting your children!

A little bit about me

I’ve always loved working with children. I started babysitting at age 12 and have done it off and on for years. I now have children of my own so I’ve learned a lot. Children are a gift and should be treated as such. And I love to play with kids. It keeps me feeling young. I feel I’m different from other candidates because of my many years of experience and my love for children.

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

Cumberland 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.
