A little bit about me

Hello my name is Krystal, I’m 28. I’m a mom to a wonderful little girl. I worked in childcare for 6+ years. I work with children with autism for 5 years. I worked with infants in a daycare setting for 6 months. I work as an assistant teacher for elementary school kids for 3 years. I’m CPR Certified, I love cleaning and cooking. & most importantly I love having fun with children. I’m that mom/nanny who is always looking for fun activities and places to try. I’m also the nanny that’s very observant and always checking surroundings. If something doesn’t look safe or feel safe trust me your child won’t be around it. I’m a parent myself so I know how it feels to have to put your trust in the hands of someone else when it comes to your little one and I’m the perfect fit for the job. During the week day I will need to pick my daughter up from school by 5:30pm.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Deja and I’m dedicated to providing nurturing, engaging, and reliable care for children. With nearly eight years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with children of all ages and abilities, helping them learn, grow, and thrive. I began as a babysitter at 15 and have since taken on roles as a caregiver, a Registered Behavior Technician, an assistant teacher at a learning center, as an IEP aide in an elementary and middle school, and now as a registered ABA Feeding Therapist.

These experiences have equipped me with the skills to meet each child’s unique needs while fostering their creativity, independence, and confidence. I pride myself on being dependable, patient, and communicative, ensuring that parents feel at ease and supported. Whether it’s assisting with homework, planning fun educational activities, or simply being a trustworthy presence, I’m committed to exceptional care.

Thank you for considering me—I’d love the opportunity to support your family!

I am first aide/CPR/SIDS certified, and have early childhood certifications. In my spare time I love to read and travel, which I try to incorporate into caring for children. If you're looking for a creative, dependable and experienced nanny for your family, I hope to hear from you.

Understand Nanny Responsibilities in Columbia, MD

Before beginning the search for a nanny, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a nanny is the right choice for your child care needs. In hiring a nanny, first, you should think through what responsibilities you expect your nanny to handle. With that information, you can create a profile so that nannies can reach out to you. The boundaries for nannies duties vary from family to family. In general, a nanny is responsible for making sure your children’s needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example, housekeeping or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your nanny before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location can impact how much you should pay your nanny.

Columbia Nanny Interviews

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

  • Do you have experience being a nanny?
  • How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?
  • What sort of household tasks are you open to doing?
  • Are you open to a live in arrangement in Columbia? Do you have experience being a live in nanny?
  • Are you open to being a nanny in a nanny share?
  • Do you have any references?
  • Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in Columbia?
  • Do you have a driver’s license in MD? Do you own a car?
  • What salary are you seeking? Are you open to being paid through direct-deposit, pay stubs?
  • What are your expectations around over-time pay and vacation time?

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 prospective nanny, it’s essential to make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your nanny. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around nanny responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming! And of course, as you learn how to hire a nanny, Nanny Lane's nanny services are here to help you along the way.

Daycare vs. Hiring a Nanny

Choosing between putting your child in daycare and hiring a nanny can be a tough decision. While nannies are often more expensive, they provide individualized attention and flexibility. Daycares, on the other hand, prioritize socialization. Our Nanny vs Daycare guide can help you determine what's best for your family.
