A little bit about me…

Hello, I have had the privilege to work with children for over 10 years. I have been a nanny, a preschool teacher, a residential counselor for teens, and as a bonus I have even worked as a private chef! Due to family circumstances, I care for my grandparents Monday-Friday till 12pm. I am looking to work with a family that can accommodate this schedule. I hope I can be a great match for a wonderful family that I can bond with.

A little bit about me…

Hi!! I'm Sophia, a student at La Serna High here in Whittier. While I have never done paid nanny work, I have LEAGUES of younger cousins who's parents have no problem requesting babysitting from their favorite older cousin. I have no problem doing everyday chores; and growing up in a Mexican household, I pride myself in how thorough I can be at cleaning. My cooking is nowhere near immaculate, but I am able to follow recipes well and I'm positive I can learn to be better if that is part of what you would like done. As a high school junior, I am a busy girl with numerous AP and Honors classes so I would hope it would be ok with you for me to do some homework while the little ones are napping or doing homework of their own and because of these numerous AP classes I have taken and mastered over the years, I can also provide your household with tutoring while I'm at the house with the kids. I am eager to hear back from you about this possible exciting first job of mine. Thank you, Sophia.

Hi there! My name is Dominique, I am 22 years old. I love working with kids! Watching them learn and grow is so heartwarming and one of the greatest gifts I could receive. I worked at a preschool for two years until COVID hit, then was hired on as a full-time nanny for a little boy whom I love so dearly. In October his preschool reopened and my services were no longer needed. It was such a wonderful experience and I would love to provide that for other children!

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

Whittier 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.
