A little bit about me

As the youngest sibling in my family, I was very fortunate to become an aunt at 9 years old. At 15, I became the primary sitter for my 6 nieces & nephews, which introduced me to the joy of caring for children. For my high school internship, I developed a "transitions" course, assisting children with the changes of K- to-1st grade and 5th-to-6th grade. For 5 years, I was a lifeguard/ children's swim instructor at YMCA, and an activity leader for an aftercare program. I was employed at Disney World for 3 years, where making "magical moments" for children was my daily joy. I have a B. S. in Event Management from the University of Central Florida. I have worked as a full-time professional nanny for the past 4 years, and hope to have children of my own in the next few years.

I believe it is a beautiful honor to be an integral part of a child's development; a responsibility I approach with patience, empathy, creativity, & communication.

Thank you for your consideration!

"We hired Katelyn to help us out with our preschooler around my maternity leave. My son took to her calm and kind demeanor right away, and we appreciate her taking the time to bond with him and make him feel special even though the Nanny position was short term. We would/will hire her again when needed."

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Natalia. I am originally from Colombia, bilingual in English and Spanish, and I have several years of experience caring for children from newborns to 12 years old.

I was an au pair in Syracuse, NY, from 2019 to 2022, caring for two girls, starting when the oldest was 4 months old. I also cared for a 1-year-old girl in Maryland from 2023 to 2024 and have regularly babysat for several local families over the years.

I am responsible, active, outgoing, and genuinely enjoy spending time with children. I am also happy to speak Spanish with them.

I am a Colombian lawyer currently pursuing my LL.M. part-time at the University of Maryland. My only daytime class is Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., so I have broad weekday availability.

I am looking for a consistent, long-term nanny position in the Columbia/Elkridge area.

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

Elkridge 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.
