A little bit about me…

Hello! My name is Maura Connolly, and I'm thrilled to be a part of the NannyLane community. I'm a compassionate and experienced nanny with 10+ years of experience providing exceptional care to children of all ages. My passion for working with children started at a young age and has only grown stronger over the years.
I am dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for the children I work with. I understand that every child is unique and has their own needs, interests, and personalities, and I'm committed to providing personalized care to meet those needs. Whether it's reading books, playing games, or exploring the outdoors, I love engaging children in activities that are both fun and educational.
In addition to my experience, I am also CPR and First Aid certified and have completed various training courses to enhance my knowledge and skills in childcare.

A little bit about me…

Hi, my name is Sarah and I’m 26 years old. I have been a tutor, babysitter, and now a nanny for half of my life! I love the outdoors and doing fun activities! I tend to stick to age appropriate learning games, incorporating motor skill development ideas, and always reinforcing existing family rules/expectations. I enjoy doing arts and crafts, going for walks or to nearby parks (if approved by parents), and engaging in whatever activities my kiddos enjoy! I have always had a passion for helping and taking care of others. I want to be the person you can trust, rely on, feel safe, and be comfortable around! (both parents and kiddos!!)
If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to reach out! 😊

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Oak Forest, IL

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 Oak Forest can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Oak Forest 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 Illinois?
  • Do you have a Illinois 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.
