A little bit about me…

I have worked with kids since I was about 14-15 and now I'm turning 26 in October. I used to take care of kids in my neighborhood, cousins, teachers kids. I love to cook so meal prep would never be a problem just as long as their is clear communication on what they can and cannot eat. Sleep schedules are preferred but not required. I do enjoy being outdoors and indoors so either way works for me. I have had my license since I was 17 and never got into any trouble. I am here for your kids so you can relieve your stress and go on date nights, work, whatever is needed I am there.

A little bit about me…

Hello! I have over a decade in the childcare related industry, working with several families as a nanny, and in after-school counselor positions. My passion lies with forming a bond with the families I work for, and getting to know the unique personalities of every child I have the privilege of working with. My goal is to provide fun and educational games while providing a safe and exciting environment for them to explore. Organization, punctuality, and responsibility are key to keeping myself and the family on the same page, which is essential for everything to run smoothly. Thank you!

A little bit about me…

My name is Alessna I am 21 years old and I’m a part time student, I’ve been working with children my whole life. I am the oldest of 4 so I’ve always been the 2nd mom. At age 15 I started volunteering for the YMCA, landed a summer camp position at the age of 16. At the age of 18 I worked full time at San Antonio elementary watching TK/Kinders (8am-6pm) and I currently work at adelante watching first graders. My ratio with kids is 1:22. I have a huge love for kids, I love to interact and bring out the creative and happy side of them. As a teacher my job is to teach them new things, yet I learned so much from them. I am a fun, young, responsible, mature, and open minded young adult. I have a great relationship with children and enough experience and people that would speak highly of me.

Las actividades que disfruto hacer con los niños, es la creatividad y la hora del cuento donde disfrutamos experimentar los talentos que pueden aprender y demostrar ellos.
La parte más importante de ser niñera, es que los niños se sientan cómodos y protegidos a mi lado y poder compartir mi cariño y dedicación hacia ellos.

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

San Jose 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.
