A little bit about me…

I grew up in a fairly large family. Being one of the oldest children, I have been caring for children for many years. Since I was 12 years old, I have been babysitting for others outside my family. From infants to 12-year-old kids, I strive to appreciate where each and every child is in their life and give them personalized care by playing with their favorite toys and teaching them new things at whatever level they are. I usually watch 2 to 5 kids at a time. The summer of 2016 I watched regularly twins from 2 months till they were 6 months. It was an amazing experience that I really enjoyed. I have had experience working in a child development center specifically in the 2-3-year-olds classroom and subbed in the infant room. I am certified in First Aid and CPR. To sum up, I just love kids and how they are each unique and special and would love to have the opportunity to watch your kids. Thank you for your time.

I'm a college student who is currently working as a CNA at a skilled nursing facility. Looking to go back to my roots as a nanny! Grew up in a big family and have been helping raise children since I was in 4th grade! I have medical knowledge and a safe vehicle for transport, I am willing to travel. I'm looking to help a nice family raise a great kid or kids! I grew up with 5 siblings in a small house so I know family is important! I've worked in the healthcare field for about 3+ years and have learned A LOT. I am good with computers and I am fully COVID vaccinated!

A little bit about me…

Hello! My name is Emily! I have been babysitting/nannying since I was 15 years old. I am currently 22. I have my bachelor's degree in Neuroscience from UCR. My schedule is decently flexible with commitments to an extra class on Tuesdays/Thursdays that ends on December 12th. I would consider myself to be a very kind, patient, and nurturing individual. I love working with children of all ages. I currently babysit and tutor as a side job which also allows for flexibility in my schedule. I am not CPR/First Aid certified, but I am willing to do so once hired if asked. I have also worked with children with special needs since I was 12 years old. I was in the club Best Buddies where I met and made friends with many of the students, one of whom I still consider to be one of my best friends. I can't wait to meet you!

I’m a 29 year old graduate, currently a dogma! Being nanny is more like being a family to me. I’m responsible, active, loving, caring and happiest around kids and dogs.

I enjoy going for runs, traveling and exploring (well I love anything outdoors).

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

Irvine 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.
