A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Jenniva, I’m currently 18 going to community college in Harford county: majoring in early childhood getting my associates in teaching in arts degree! I have a big passion for working with kids and it brings me so much joy. I want a job that deals with kids to get more experience and exposure for my future career goal!! Previous experience working within childcare includes: Horizon day camp where I was also to become a bus counselor. I enjoyed this opportunity so much, and the bonds we got to form with each kid. I also am an occasional babysitter for a family friends kid group of 3( ages 1-6) every now and then! Both of these jobs include supervising the kids, ensuring meals and snacks, engaging in activities with the kids, communicating with the parents…etc. I have lots of patience with kids & belive every kid deserves to be loved, cared for and able to have fun and be themselves. I’m looking to babysit/nanny part time on Mondays, Thursdays and Friday afternoons-evenings.

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

Abingdon 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.
