A little bit about me

Hey there my name is Anna. I'm a fun loving care giver who has worked with kids for over 3 years now. From summer camps, to part time gigs with neighbors, to watching over my cousins and more I would be the perfect fit for your family and little one. I am fine with pets, house cleaning, going on walks, meal prepping, tutoring, and working with multiple kids.

Recent reference

"Julie has been amazing. She has watched our two daughters (6 months old to 1.5 years, and 2.5 to 3.5 years). She is caring, considerate, attentive, energetic. She is an extraordinarily calm and patient person. Julie speaks to our children mostly in French and our children understand and often use French words to communicate. She was always able to keep our children occupied, from reading to them, teaching them colors, shapes, and numbers, drawing, painting, doing puzzles, doing legos, she was up for all of it and let our children lead the way. Julie also got the kids outside every day. She was flexible with our schedules also."

A little bit about me

I'm currently in school pursuing my IT degree. For the past year I have worked as a dedicated aide, tutor and also as an AmeriCorps member. I have experience working with both neurotypical and neurodiverse children. I understand that everyone wants what is best for their child and often times, people that work with children don't actually like them. I, however really love children. Their young minds are so impressionable and they are very curious about the world that they live in. I aspire to be as positive as of an influence as I can be. I enjoy the outdoors and arts and crafts as well. Your child will never be bored with me! I have an FBI and state background check which I do not mind providing in the case that I am hired.

A little bit about me

Hi!! my name is Paola
I currently live in Silver Spring, and Im available to start working right away.
I'll describe my personality as a respectful person, which I think is one of the most important things when it comes to kids! Also, I'll say that I'm a very responsible person and also very kind.
One thing you should know about me is I'm an organized person. I love having my space clean and looking good always.
I do have an active driver's license, I've been driving in the US for 2 years (more than 5 in my home country), and I have a clean driving record, so if you need to pick up and drop off I'll be very useful bc I consider my driving skills as excellent.
My skills include being patient, a loving person, and helping with the necessities of the kids.
My schedule is open so I can attach it to any time that you need. My experience is extensive: more than 7 years of childcare. Im willing to work with pets (I DO love them).
If you think Im the right match for your fam DM me (:

A little bit about me

Hi, it's nice to meet you. My name is Rose Hull, I am 21, and I just adore kids and babies. I have been a certified baby sitter since middleschool. I have been described by many as a person with the personality of a golden retriever. I also love to play games and do crafts, most likely I will bring my own too when I come to babysit. I am very gentle, patient, and energetic. I will with your permission spoil your kids rotten and I do love to bake, especially apple cinnamon sweet bread. I am down for all sorts of fun activities. I also am good in emergency situations and have experience in first aid, in addition to knowing a lot of home remedies. I know how to do infant cpr and perform the heimlich on babies in three different ways. I am up to the challenge of playtime, storytime, meals, bathtime, naptime, walks, bedtime, and everyday exploration. I promise I will be there to keep your child safe, loved, and happy.

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

Silver Spring 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.
