A little bit about me

I administer one-on-one care and meet the physical, emotional, social, and intellectual needs of the children. I strive to contribute to a safe, caring, nurturing, and stimulating environment.

My strengths as a nanny include being a responsible, reliable, and caring person. I tailor routines to the individual needs of each child, helping them feel secure, safe, and as alert as possible.

Key qualities I bring as a nanny:

Creating a safe, nurturing environment
Engaging and child-focused approach
Compassionate and patient demeanor
Excellent communication skills
I have been working with children for the past 20 years, and in my spare time, I focus on planning the next steps to help support the child's development.

One thing you should know about me is that I provide customized and personalized childcare, specifically tailored to each child's needs, in their home environment.

My skills include patience, compassion, planning, time management, CPR certified, and active listening.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Rhylee. I have been working with kids my whole life. From volunteer work as a teenager, a teaching assistant for children with an IEP in college, a stay at home mom of 2 children, as well as working with children under 2 at an ECE center, my work with children is broad.

I believe in a gentle, loving, and child driven approach. Each child is unique and I believe it is imperative to guide them in a way that allows their individual light to flourish.

Working with children is a passion of mine and I would love the opportunity to meet you!

Understand Nanny Responsibilities in Ellicott City, MD

Before beginning the search for a nanny, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a nanny is the right choice for your child care needs. In hiring a nanny, first, you should think through what responsibilities you expect your nanny to handle. With that information, you can create a profile so that nannies can reach out to you. The boundaries for nannies duties vary from family to family. In general, a nanny is responsible for making sure your children’s needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example, housekeeping or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your nanny before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location can impact how much you should pay your nanny.

Ellicott City Nanny Interviews

Once you start connecting with prospective nannies, the next step is a nanny interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some nanny interview questions to consider asking:

  • Do you have experience being a nanny?
  • How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?
  • What sort of household tasks are you open to doing?
  • Are you open to a live in arrangement in Ellicott City? Do you have experience being a live in nanny?
  • Are you open to being a nanny in a nanny share?
  • Do you have any references?
  • Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in Ellicott City?
  • Do you have a driver’s license in MD? Do you own a car?
  • What salary are you seeking? Are you open to being paid through direct-deposit, pay stubs?
  • What are your expectations around over-time pay and vacation time?

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 prospective nanny, it’s essential to make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your nanny. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around nanny responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming! And of course, as you learn how to hire a nanny, Nanny Lane's nanny services are here to help

Daycare vs. Hiring a Nanny

Choosing between putting your child in daycare and hiring a nanny can be a tough decision. While nannies are often more expensive, they provide individualized attention and flexibility. Daycares, on the other hand, prioritize socialization. Our Nanny vs Daycare guide can help you determine what's best for your family.
