A little bit about me

I'm a 42-year-old single mother with over 17 years of licensed childcare experience and 3 years of working as a dedicated nanny. Being both an educator and a parent has shaped me into a deeply intuitive caregiver who understands the importance of consistency, kindness, and structure in a child's daily life.

From planning thoughtful activities to encouraging self-expression and developmental growth, I take a hands-on approach to meet each child right where they are. I value open communication with families and creating environments where children feel safe, supported, and loved.

If you are looking for someone who brings professional expertise and the heart of a mother, I would love to connect and learn more about your family's needs.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Aliana, and I am a student at George Washington University, majoring in Public Health on the pre-med route. I have about a year of professional childcare experience working as a behavioral technician and camp counselor, but as the oldest sister to two younger sisters (plus helping care for our dog and cat!), I feel like I have been caring for children my whole life. I love creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for kids, and some of my favorite activities to do with children are reading together, doing arts and crafts, and helping with homework. Outside of school and work, I enjoy cooking and baking, gardening, and thrifting. I am a very patient, responsible, and caring person, and I truly enjoy building positive relationships with both children and families!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Jirah Everett. I am 20 years old and currently residing in Laurel,MD. I am looking for new employment as I have the next six months off from my university. I have major experience with all children from infants to young adults. In school I major in education so teaching is my route.

I have a compassion for caring for children in any environment whether it’s in school or out of school. I have childcare experience and CPR experience as I volunteered with the firefighting and emt department. I am looking for full time availability and a family I can call a second one and not this just be another job. Aside having major experience with caring for children I also do housecleaning and meal prepping, and running errands for the parents even when they are home! Get back to me at [phone number hidden] if you’re interested in me sitting ☺️

A little bit about me

Greetings beautiful parents! My name is Katrina. I am a fun loving, energetically active individual. I have been a personal trainer and mom for about 10 years. And sitting professionally and personally for about the same, since undergrad (2007). I have a 3yo boy myself who is very active. I’ve gone through the milestones personally and externally of raising and watching a newborn to preteen to full on teenagers in their glory.
Children are such a blessing and challenge us to become better humans. I know my son has encouraged so much personal growth I’m so grateful for him. I’m a little bit of a neat freak, so light housekeeping/laundry isn’t a problem. As a fitness professional, I meal prep for myself weekly, so flavorful clean eats is a personal skill of mine. Though, should be noted that it’s very time consuming.😅
I’d love to be a blessing to someone’s family in watching/protecting, playing and learning with your babies!

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

Laurel 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.
