A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Naomi, and I’m currently an undergraduate student at the University of Toronto studying social sciences with interests in criminology and bioethics. I grew up between California and Taiwan, so I’m fluent in both English and Mandarin.

I have about three years of babysitting experience from before graduating high school, and I’ve worked with children of different ages. In past babysitting roles, I helped kids with English and math homework, practiced piano with them, and made sure they stayed engaged through games and activities. I enjoy creating a supportive and fun environment where kids feel comfortable while also staying on track with their learning.

Growing up with a younger brother also gave me a lot of experience helping take care of children day-to-day.

I’d love to help families who are looking for a reliable sitter who can also assist with homework or language practice if needed.

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Toronto, ON

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 Toronto can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Toronto 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 Ontario?
  • Do you have a Ontario 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.
