A little bit about me

My name is Madi, I’m 20 years old and currently in my second year of college. I’ve only ever worked in childcare and have about 4 years of experience. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and truly love working with kids!

I’m open to nannying at your house or mine—whatever works best for your family. My mom used to run a home daycare, so I grew up around childcare. My house also has a pool, which can be great summer fun for older kids (with safety always coming first, of course!). 😊

Hi! My name is Jenna. I’m 31 and have 2 kids of my own whom I love dearly! I’ve primarily been teaching pre-k for the last 14 years as it’s my passion & am now looking for something just a little more lowkey. I am a certified ECC Teacher as well as in CPR/FA for all ages. I feel strongly about the importance of treating children with the compassion & grace we desire to be treated with ourselves & firmly believe in the idea that we need to be the change we want to see in the world! In addition, I have remained the “emotional support” teacher over the years… I’m wonderful with calming big emotions!

A little bit about me

I’m 23 years of age with lots of love to give to babies and children! I’m from Alabama and have been in the state of Maryland since 2018. I love to be outside, as well as inside playing with toys and coloring. Growing up, I was always the family babysitter for my siblings, nephews and nieces, and cousins of all ages. Once my family realized how good I was with babies, especially newborns, they did not hesitate to leave their children with me, even at such a young age (around 10 years of age when it started). I love how children have the ability to love and care for someone no matter how different you are from them, as well as their way of viewing of the world.

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

Townsend 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.
