A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Ashley and I’m 22 years old. I have babysat since I was 13 for family and friends. When I got to high school I was in a early childhood education class and I worked hands on with a group of six three year olds. When I graduated, I was able to have an opportunity to work for a daycare. I am currently still at the center but am looking for a bigger job. I have worked with the twos room and now I am currently in a pre-kindergarten classroom, so that being said I would need a two week notice so I can leave on good terms with my job now.I have experience from watching 1-14 kids at a time. Along with my hands on experience, I also have many certifications in childcare education. I am a very hard worker and always try to do more then what is expected of me, I am very friendly and loving not only to children but also animals. I have a very big heart, and take care of any child like they are my own. And I am looking for the opportunity to show an amazing family how great I can be.

A little bit about me

Hello !
Thanks for looking into me. I grew up here in maryland with a supportive family. Since my mother had been in the childcare field for over 25 years I have always been surrounded by children which is why it’s very important to me that they get all the love and support needed. Watching how children should properly be taught as they are hitting all of their developmental milestones is a very important chapter in a child’s life. I’m a Full-Time college student at Towson University perusing a degree in family and human services. I have been working with children the ages of 9 months- 6 years old for 3 years. I love and adore kids. Watching kids grow, learn, and having fun is the reason this is my forever career path !

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

Essex 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.
