A little bit about me

Hi there! My husband and I just moved to Mendocino County and I am looking for a new family to provide childcare for. I have been a childcare provider on and off for over 10 years and I love to find creative ways to keep your child engaged during our time together, whether that be playing with toys, reading books, painting, or going for a nature walk. I have my Bachelor's degree in Psychology with a focus in Child Psychology and the importance of Play in child development. I love animals as well, so I don't mind if you have a few pets running around :) I will do light housekeeping (dishes, laundry, pick-up etc.) and meals are always a breeze for me! I am First-Aid and CPR certified and will always make sure your child is as safe as you would keep them. I look forward to chatting with you more about how I can help with your needs!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Lereah. I live with a 4,5, and 7 year old that I take care of every single day. Kids have always been my joy in life. Growing up I was forced to be the parent to my siblings and ever since then I have always wanted to work with kids. I have done camps with RCS where I’m in charge of a group of 5+ kids. I’ve babysat for my family, friends, and friends of friends. I’ve taken child development classes in the college, I have also done a few internships in ukiah with preschool children. I’m currently in an internship when I am a “big sister” to a little girl. I have an abundance amount of experience with kids. I will take care of every child like it’s my own. And I hope to establish a good, healthy, and friendly relationship with both the parents and children I work with!

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

Redwood Valley 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.
