A little bit about me…

Hi! I'm Courtney and I have been babysitting for over 2 decades and nannying full time for over a decade. I practice gentle/responsive caregiving, but am highly adaptable to adjusting to a families style and function. I love working with children of all ages and have worked with kids from 4 months to 18 years old. The first family I nannied for had kids with special needs and I found out very quickly I enjoyed working with these kids and families. I have worked with kids who have autism, ADHD, add, dyslexia, dysgraphia, auditory processing disorders, memory issues, and a variety of other cognitive disabilities and/or neuro divergences.
I went to school for elementary education and was fortunate to spend a lot of time volunteering in classrooms. In addition to nannying I have worked at an after school program, coached youth softball and gave youth pitching lessons.
In my free time you can find me hanging out with my dog, listening to music, reading, hula hooping and baking.

A little bit about me…

Hello! Looking for a night-time/weekend nannying job. I currently work as a program manager at a edtech company during the day. I moved to San Mateo in June of 2021 with my little brother so he can attend the College of San Mateo for football.

I've nannied all throughout high school for my pastor's family and other members of my church community. I am the oldest of 5 (two girls, three boys) and my younger sister is a cancer survivor who is also on the autism spectrum, so I have first-hand experience caring for children with special needs.

I love working with children, and am happy to connect if you'd like to chat more.

A little bit about me…

Hello! My name is Ana Cristina, I’m 24 years old and I currently reside in Sausalito. My love for taking care of children started when I became a camp counselor at the age of 14. Since then, I’ve done multiple babysitting/date night jobs until I landed my first full-time nanny position almost 4 years ago. Since then I have worked with three wonderful families and have gained experience with ages 6M-2.5 years old. My responsibilities have included child-related housekeeping, meal prep, driving to/from school and music classes, crafts, and much more. I love being active and spending time outdoors. To me, the more time spent outside exploring, the better! Coming up with different activities and keeping the children in my care entertained and happy is very important to me. I love what I do, and it makes me happy when I see that the children are happy as well! If you have any questions and would like to know more about references please feel free to reach out to me!

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

San Mateo 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.
