A little bit about me

With several years of experience in early childhood education, I have worked extensively both in early learning center classrooms and in administrative roles supporting families, staff, and curriculum development. My background has given me a deep understanding of child development, early learning strategies, and effective communication with parents. I’m now excited to bring my skills to a more personalized setting by working in a home environment, where I can offer attentive, nurturing care and help foster a safe, engaging environment tailored to any child’s needs.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Chelsea. I've babysat for about 20 years now which sounds crazy to me but I started at 13 with my own nephew as a newborn. I have cared for ages from newborns up into pre-teens and from up to 3 in a household to a larger group in a daycare setting. Children tend to be drawn to me because of my youthful and inviting energy I give off, which I consider one of my superpowers. I love doing artwork and creating things. I genuinely care about others and how they feel. I'm reliable and responsible. I'm as honest as they come, and am motivated to care for your child/children, the best way you believe they should be cared for.

A little bit about me

Hello,
My name is Heather Schurman. I am currently attending school for elementary education. I have always been really good with children and absolutely love working with children. Even though I am an adult and am very responsible my inner child comes out frequently. I love to just hang out with the children and just play. Crafts are always a fun thing to do with the kids as well. Getting active with the kids is also important. Whether it is running around outside or having a major dance party inside. I do like to maybe watch a movie or show with the kids. Especially showing them some of the older Disney movies. I have also come up with different learning activities as well for the kids. I am also really good with animals. I have a dog and three cats at home.

A little bit about me

Hello! I am a young, creative and empathetic woman who has a soft spot for all children. I just graduated from University of DE with a BA in Anthropology. I also think all children deserve love and affection as if there were no one else on earth! Children are very important to not only myself but to society's future. Teaching children to be confident, but smart is very important to me, while also teaching them independence and play.

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

Lewes 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.
