I have great patience with children. Children like attention and for someone show them that someone cares . I know I am mother of three grown men myself and a grandmother of one grandson. With that being said I still have a lot of energy left. kids give you that reality check how precious life is. I do plain activities they will not be bored. Overall, I hope I will have the opportunity be your nanny.

A little bit about me

I am about to retire. I have worked over 20 years in an IT position with the federal government. I raised 2 children as a single mom and one of them is on the spectrum l. The other is also, but not discovered until they were an adult.
I love children and am usually very good with them. I’m able to interact with and redirect when needed. I can do mild discipline such as corner time, but am totally against physical discipline. I can cook and clean in small amounts. I will not be your maid and your nanny

A little bit about me

Hi! I'm originally from Baltimore and recently moved back home after spending the last two years living in New Zealand. While there, I attended a leadership college, worked as an Administrative Assistant for a family-focused community space, and eventually became the Youth Pastor at my church. Working with kids and young people has been such a big part of my life, and it's something I genuinely love.
I have experience working in a daycare, coaching youth sports, nannying, and babysitting for families of all ages and stages. I also come from a big family with six siblings, including three younger brothers, so caring for kids has always been second nature to me!
Outside of childcare, I love traveling, meeting new people, and playing soccer and football. I enjoy connecting with others, and I think my empathy helps me build trust quickly with both kids and parents.
I'm excited to meet new families and create a safe, fun, encouraging environment where kids can be themselves and thrive!

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

Baltimore 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.
