A little bit about me

Hi, I'm May. I've worked as a full-time nanny for 4 years, mostly caring for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. My approach to children is to be gentle and patient. I love blending educational and recreational play into their daily routines and supporting them to be able to thrive at their own pace. My goal is to put parents at ease when knowing that their children are under my care and the household is running smoothly.

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Angelica, a recent U of T Scarborough grad with a degree in psychology and minors in political science and English lit. While I don’t have formal nanny experience, I’ve cared for my father and younger brother for much of my life. I’ve volunteered with children in kindergarten classrooms, at summer camps, as a school mentor, and as a peer supporter on 7Cups. I recently worked as an ECE worker at MAAT Youth Centre (ages 0–6), where I supported early learning and development through activities focused on literacy, gross/fine motor skills, and play. Currently, I’m an After School Program Facilitator at Boys & Girls Club East Scarborough, creating inclusive and engaging environments for kids 6–12. I’m patient, dependable, energetic, and safety-focused, and I strive to make every moment with children both fun and meaningful. I’d love the chance to support your family!

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.
