A little bit about me…

I have 5 nieces and nephews ages 5 years old-5 months. I also just had a baby in October. I feel very comfortable providing for children by giving them a fun and activity filled day but also making sure they follow a routine. I have a fun personality and understand the activities needed for motor and language development. I would treat the children that I nanny for with the same respect and carefulness that I would my own.

A little bit about me…

As a young teenager starting at the age of about 13 or 14 years of age I began babysitting for family friends as well as family members, and younger siblings. At the age of 14 I got my first job at an after school program in my town as an after school job taking care of children ranging from grades k-4th grade. At the age of 18 I got a job at a daycare working with children ages infants to 5th grade. I was at that daycare for 3 years. After leaving the daycare I became a nanny for summer vacation taking care of a school-age boy with Aspergers. When he went back to school I found a full-time position at a state hospital.

A little bit about me…

The family I most recently nannied for was during my senior year of high school. It was a boy and a girl in 5th and 7th grade. The job entailed meeting them at home after school (they walked), helping them get organized and do their homework, cook for them, clean up the house and drive them to activities. Sometimes, with bad weather, I would pick them up from school, sometimes I would put them to bed and I spent some snow days with them. Other than that, I babysat a few other families including my neighbors, and my relatives.

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

Douglas 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.
