A little bit about me

My name is Sara, I am 21 years old. I have 7+ years of experience in childcare within multiple settings. I can be explained as a warm, dependable, and attentive nanny with hands on experience caring for infants and young children in everyday routines and specialized care environments. I heavily prioritize creating an exciting, nurturing and calm space where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow at their own pace.

I’m consistent in managing infant and toddler schedules, including feeding, sleep routines, developmental and social play, and emotional regulation. I enjoy high attention caregiving and working closely with parents to maintain consistency and communication.

Families have described me as patient, reliable, and detail oriented, with a steady presence during both busy and quiet moments. I value building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents. I always carry out my caregiving with warmth, structure, and genuine care.

A little bit about me

Hello!
I’ve been working with children in daycare centers and in individual families, every time is a different experience but what is common is that I love children and they feel it and generally are very friendly and open to me. I like to cook and try to cultivate healthy eating habits though never make a problem of it. I clean and do laundry as a house asks for. I don’t drive currently. I love taking children for nature walks, active sports games, playing and learning at home. Through experience in teaching art classes and working in daycare centers I’ve developed passion toward assisting children in developing their natural skills and characters through art, active play, song, dance, creative crafting sessions, weaving it in daily routine along with household chores. I’m at the service of the needs of every individual family I work for and looking forward to serve you.

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

Westport 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.
