A little bit about me

I'm currently attending TJU as a graduate student. I’m a kind, compassionate, and caring person. As the oldest of my siblings, caregiving has always been a part of my day-to-day. In the past, I have part-time nannied throughout the summer. My experience with child care encompasses all age ranges, including those with special needs. Being a good role model for a child brings me so much joy. I enjoy painting, reading, being outside, and trying new foods. I am excited to meet your family, and my hope in my time with you is to create a lasting impact through care, attention, and fun!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Dejahnae and I have 6 years of childcare experience working with kids of different ages, from infants to school age. I've always really enjoyed working with children and helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and supportive environment.
I'm a very patient, reliable, and hands on caregiver. I like keeping kids engaged with things like crafts, reading, outdoor activities, and creative play. I'm also comfortable helping with daily routines like meal prep, homework, bedtime, and keeping the kids' spaces tidy.
I have experience caring for multiple children at once and helping with things like school drop offs and pick ups, preparing simple meals, and sticking to the routines that parents have in place. I always try to be someone families can truly rely on and trust with their kids.

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

Wilmington 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.
