A little bit about me…

Hi, my name is Alana! I have a BA in Child Development from CSU Stanislaus and I have experience working with all ages, from 3 months to 14 years old. I have experience working both in private homes and daycares, and I most recently worked as a teacher in a middle school. I have my own vehicle and have experience driving children if needed. I'm also CPR certified and comfortable with pets.
Some of my favorite hobbies are reading, gardening, and baking. I'm very passionate about my career and I know that every family deserves high-quality childcare. I believe that children learn best though play, encourage lots of autonomy and free choice, and try to incorporate all domains of development into the activities I plan for children.
Please reach out if you have any questions!

A little bit about me…

I am a former elementary school teacher with experience in special education. I have run an in-home daycare where I cared primarily for children birth to 2 years. I have also been a nanny to a family with 3 children under 3 yrs and a family with a newborn and 5 yr old whom I also homeschooled.
I am a loving and creative nanny who believes in keeping children engaged in active and creative play as well as educational activities and sports. I prefer that children stay away from television and video games but that is ultimately up to the parents.

A little bit about us…

Hello!

We are seeking care for our 6-month-old for 20-30 hours per week beginning Sept. 19th until at least Oct. 13th, with the possibility of that extending longer.

We hope to find a caregiver who is dependable and communicative, prioritizes safety, and can adapt to an infant who's not yet on a set schedule. And we hope to find someone who can bring a sense of warmth and lightheartedness when engaging and playing with our smiley, silly, and sweet little one!

Tasks would include feeding bottles and baby food, changing diapers, getting baby down for naps, and engaging baby with books, toys, etc., during awake times. Taking baby on walks or trips to the nearby library would be a plus too.

We do have two cats in the home.

On our end we would work to establish open, clear, and respectful communication with you.

We'd love to hear from you if you're interested or if we can answer any questions about the position.

Thanks for your time!

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

Merced 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.
