A little bit about me

I remember being 5 years old and going on and on to my parents about how I wanted to grow up to be a nanny. Maybe this desire came from reading Mary Poppins or simply from fantasizing about having a nanny of my own (one who would let me eat cake all day and ignore my homework of course). But no-matter why, here I am today--a nanny--and I absolutely love what I do. Over the course of three years I have been a childcare supervisor for 5+ children at American Lutheran Church, worked as a full time nanny for multiple families of all shapes and sizes, and in my free time babysat for friends and neighbors when they needed a night off. In addition to caring for your kids and keeping them out of mischief, I offer housecleaning, am more than happy to cook delicious and healthy meals, and love to help work through homework and even homeschool. As a professional grade musician who has toured coast-to coast I happily offer violin lessons as well. I look forward to meeting your family!

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

Wenham 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.
