A little bit about me

Dear Families,
My name is Débora, and I am a caring, responsible, and trustworthy childcare professional based in Malden/Ma. I have experience caring for infants and young children both in educational settings and daily routines.
In Brazil, I worked as an Early Childhood Education Teacher with children ages 1–5. My responsibilities included supervising activities, preparing meals, organizing naps, maintaining a safe environment, and supporting children’s emotional and social development.
I’m patient, organized, attentive, and dedicated to creating a warm, safe, and nurturing environment for children. I also have professional experience in administrative and legal settings, which strengthened my sense of responsibility, confidentiality, and professionalism.
I’m currently studying English in the United States and improving my communication skills every day. I’m a native Portuguese speaker and would love the opportunity to support your family with kindness and dedication. regards,
Débora

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Sabrina Tacchetti, and I am a recent graduate from Fairfield University, where I studied Marketing and Management. I have over five years of experience working with children through nannying and my role as a Resident Assistant, and caring for others has always been something that comes very naturally to me.
I would describe myself as warm, patient, and dependable. I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for children, whether that’s through crafts, outdoor activities, learning games, or just being present and attentive to their needs. I am someone who values consistency and trust, and I take pride in building strong relationships with both children and their families.
Outside of childcare, I enjoy reading, going for walks, and spending time at coffee shops. I also love being creative and finding new ways to make everyday fun and meaningful. I truly have a passion for working with children and hope to make a positive impact in their lives every day.

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Boston, MA

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 Boston can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Boston 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 Massachusetts?
  • Do you have a Massachusetts 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.
