A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Zoe, and I’ve been babysitting for nearly half my life. With a big age gap between me and my younger cousins, I naturally stepped into a caregiving role from an early age, often watching over them and their friends. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of various ages, from infants to tweens, and I also worked as a tutor throughout middle and high school — helping kids with everything from reading to math.
I’m currently studying to enter the medical field, with the goal of becoming a pediatrician, so working with children is truly a passion of mine. I'm dependable, patient, and creative, and I love engaging kids through play, learning, and structured routines. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing snacks, or keeping little ones entertained and safe, I bring energy and calm wherever I go.
I’d love the opportunity to support your family and help create a nurturing environment for your child to grow in.

A little bit about me

Hi there, my name is Cindy! I grew up and lived in Medford my entire life. My passion for childcare began early in life. My mother ran a family daycare center in our home, so I spent a lot of time around children of all ages-infants to school aged children. I also spent a few months caring for a 3-year-old boy on the autism spectrum. I have 4 years of valuable experience caring for children and have enjoyed every moment I spent with them. I studied Psychology at UMass Lowell and earned my bachelor's degree, something I was genuinely passionate about and enjoyed learning. During my studies, I also worked part-time as an assistant at my mother’s daycare center, where I helped care for a group of wonderful children. I learned a lot about child development and developed a deeper understanding on how to support children emotionally and mentally.

A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Peggy. I have been a fun, active experienced nanny for over 10 years. I am originally from greece I came here when I was about 10 years old. My very first job was at day care near my high school and I absolutely loved it! Teaching and helping children grow through every stage of their youth life and showing them what this wonderful world has to offer. But children will be children it’s important for us adults to teach them that fun is fun but the most important thing is they have to respect other as well as each other. My goal is to establish a safe, fun stable environment.

A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Narlee.

I am a sophomore at UMB. I worked as a preschool teacher during my high school years and graduated with my certificate in early childhood. I chose that profession because I truly believe that children are the future and their childhood is the foundation for adulthood; therefore, they should have many good people around them—their parents, teachers, siblings, other family members, and good neighbors and friends—from whom they can learn and adopt morals and values.

A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Dana. I’ve been a nanny for over 13 years and have enjoyed every second of it. I love spending as much time as I can outside and prefer working with a family that values the outdoors (minimal to no screen time) and everything it has to offer. I’m culinary trained and love teaching kids about healthy eating, and would love to teach your kiddo baking as well.
I am CPR/First Aid certified, working on my NCS certification, and an advocate for car seat safety and sleep training (I’m hoping to become certified in both areas soon as well). I strongly believe in staying up to date with the latest studies on all aspects of child care. Complacency and thinking you know everything in the child care industry is doing the industry a huge disservice.

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

Medford 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.
