Aloha!!! My name is Rebecca. And it’s that time again. My current family is moving on to big and exciting adventures. So I’m looking for a new family to be part of. I have over 12 plus years of caring for children. I am CPR/First Aid certified, have a CA driver's license, and a clear background check. I have a car, car seat, and stroller for use. I am a fun, loving, and compassionate person. Children are my pride and joy. Watching children play and just being happy is what I look forward to. A simple smile can uplift anyone's spirits. A typical day: The little one's days are filled with trips to the park, libraries, lots of reading, singing, and playing. I believe that taking care of, and raising children is one of the most important jobs a person can ever have. My role as a Nanny is to always make sure children are safe, happy, and well cared for. Please no Nanny share

Hi families! My name is Eva, and I'm a preschool teacher at a play based preschool in Oakland. I am nurturing, compassionate, and responsive with my students and really prioritize children's feelings and building self-esteem. Building positive relationships with children, and seeing them learn, grow, explore their interests, imagination, and creativity is what brings me joy! I'm a firm believer in play-based learning for young children, and that children learn best when doing something they're interested in!
I am First Aid/CPR certified, vaccinated, clean driving record, & my own transportation.
I am currently available for afterschool care or the occasional evening or weekly date-night care. Can do light housework/meals, plan developmentally appropriate activities, do light pet care, and am here to help with anything that your family may need!
I look forward to chatting with you and learning more about your family & childcare needs.

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Berkeley, CA

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 Berkeley can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Berkeley 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 California?
  • Do you have a California 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.
