A little bit about me

My name is Herlinda. I have been caring for children for over 20 years as a nanny. I also have three kids of my own (ages 18, 22 and 26). I have cared for kids as young as 2 months and as old as 5-6 years old.

I work with each family to establish a schedule that fits their needs. I also enjoy taking the kids out to different activities (playground, library, walks, etc.) based on the families comfort level.

I am a fluent Spanish speaker, and each child I've worked with has learned pieces of Spanish.

I would love to talk more about what you're looking for in a Nanny.

"Herlinda stands out because of her deep love for children in general and for our daughter. She cared for our first child starting around 6 monyhs and I as a first time momwas extremely hesitant to allow anyone to care for my baby. But our daughter immediately took to her (which is rare for our daughter to take to anyone). Throughout Herlinda's time with us she was consistent and reliable and worked with us to build a schedule that we were comfortable with. Though she was a little limited not having a driver's license she did a great job mixing up activities based on what was close to our house (parks, library, in home activities, etc). Language was an adjustment at first, but we learned to communicate with the help of Google translate, and have enjoyed the plus that our daughter now knows nearly as many Spanish words as English."

A little bit about me

Hey! 😊
I’m currently offering childcare Thursday through Saturday, with flexibility for occasional date nights too. I’m looking for a family that values respect, trust, and kindness—somewhere I can feel appreciated and where we both feel like a great fit!

A little about me: I’m bilingual (English & Spanish), CPR/First Aid certified, and I’ve been caring for little ones for over 5 years—including newborns, infants, toddlers, and older kids. I’m also a proud auntie to six nieces and nephews, so being around kids has always been a big part of my life. 🤍

I’d describe myself as bubbly and easygoing, though I can be a little shy at first! Right now, I care for a sweet 2-year-old girl from Monday to Wednesday, so I’m hoping to fill the rest of my week with another amazing family.

If this sounds like a good fit, feel free to reach out—I’d love to connect!

A little bit about me

Hello. My name is Herlinda and I have been a nanny for over 10 years. I have worked as a caregiver for individual families and also shared my services with neighbors via a nanny share arrangement. I am kind, patient, reliable, professional, and safety-minded. My primary language is Spanish and I am still working on my English. I like to keep my kids busy with fun activities and outings to the park and I also can do light cleaning and meal prep to support your family schedule. I'm looking to work with one or two families as a full-time nanny and I'm available to start in september 2022. I prefer working with babies and smaller children and usually work for 1+ years with family.

"Herlinda is an extremely loving, patient, responsible, and kind person. She was with my son from 6 months to 2.5 years old and we are still close with her. She will treat your children as if they were her own. She set up great routines for my son at an early age, handled meal prep and some light cleaning, kept him engaged and entertained (with practically no screen time), took him out to the park frequently, and even helped potty train him! She was always on time and although Spanish is her primary language, she communicated with us frequently about my son's care, scheduling, logistics, etc. She is extremely reliable and safety conscious."

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

Adelphi 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.
