A little bit about me

I am a prior assistant teacher at the Merritt Clubs country club in White Marsh, MD. Before that I volunteered at Midtown Elementary School in Neptune, NJ where I used to reside to build experience around all age school children. I add this to inform you I am CPR and First Aid certified. I also have a recent background check updated from this year. I just do not have the funds as of right now to pay the app to check both. I do own my own vehicle so I am mobile in case of an emergency or for flexibility to be on call. I do have open availability as in all day everyday and I am willing to accommodate the family’s schedule however they please. I am although a struggling college student who has lost her job due to the Pandemic and I am looking for an opportunity to pursue my passion working with kids before I do graduate with my Bachelors in Biology from the Illustrious Morgan State University. I am willing to lend a helping hand to a family in need as they do the same in return for me.

A little bit about me

my name is akaliia im a college student at CCBC and i've been a nanny/ babysitter for 4 years. i started off as a babysitter at the Villa Roma Resort, which is also how i found my first family to nanny for. i became a live-in nanny where i took care of 3 kids from the time they woke till bedtime came around. i am young and youthful, every job i've had has consisted of working with children. i currently volunteer at a community center for kids where i help create fun activities, help kids with their homework and teach them how to be respectful and appropriate manors. i treat the kids i work with like their my own, i get along great with children and only want to see them succeed later on in life. i love children especially because as a child i never received the full love and attention every child needs so i want to give any and every child the type of affection they deserve.

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Baltimore, MD

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 Baltimore can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Baltimore 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 Maryland?
  • Do you have a Maryland 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.
