A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Lillia and I’m looking for a nanny/babysitting job. I’ve had lots of experience babysitting and I love being around kids. I have 7 siblings and have learned to understanding any kids perspective in different situations. Kindness in my opinion, is the most important lesson anyone could be taught and I love to spread that lesson to the kids I watch. I’m a very loving person and will never be cruel to your kids. I believe in talking about problems first rather than sending them in a corner to stare at a wall or treating them with disrespect to “teach” them not to disrespect. If you have any questions about me feel free to contact me!

A little bit about me

I am willing to work overnight. I have multiple younger siblings so for as long as I can remember I have been babysitting and looking over children. I have worked in various child care facilities across the country as well. I am a fun babysitter who pays attention to detail. I am creative as well so I keep the children engaged but I am also big on prioritization, so only after chores and homework. In addition to babysitting, I have been a part-time tutor for about 5 years now.

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Dover, DE

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 Dover can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Dover 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 Delaware?
  • Do you have a Delaware 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.
