A little bit about me…

I have 9 or so years of personal experience. I partially helped raise my little brother for 5 years, both my nephews for an additional 4 years, and volunteered at the Children’s Ministry at Calvary Chapel Murrieta+Costa Mesa for about two years in between. I am able to mold myself to fit with your child’s personality. Introvert or extrovert, I will care for your little one and their little quirks that make them who they are. Would like to mention I am 19 born in 2002, since I know age can be a factor when looking for a potential Nanny. Many blessings to you!

A little bit about me…

Hi! My name is Marilyn. I'm 20 & love Disney, art, the outdoors, and bonding with kids and teens of course! Back in high school, I used to help the sisters of the Society Devoted to the Sacred Heart of Jesus with their kid's club! I would help the kids with homework, provide them with a snack, and if I wasn't playing with them outdoors, I was a lookout. I'm a whole hearted Christian, so I really value good morals such as respect, honesty, and kindness. I also love caring for animals, I have 3 dogs myself! I gained most of my cooking and cleaning skills from babysitting my adorable younger cousins over the years. As a full time graphic design student at CSUF, I can safely say that I have a lot of patience and I'm very detail oriented as well. I took a college level psychology course in high school, so I also have fundamental knowledge on child development. That's a little bit about me :)!

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

Santa Ana 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.
