A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Mia Reyes, and I am entering my senior year of college. I have over two years of childcare experience, starting at my aunt's daycare, where I cared for infants through preschool-aged children. I have also provided babysitting through Care.com for children ranging from 6 months to 10 years old.
Most recently, I worked as a nanny last semester for a 1-year-old, managing meals, naps, diaper changes, playtime, and daily routines. Last summer, I nannied for a 2-year-old in New York City and worked as a shared nanny in Washington, DC for three children ages 2, 4, and 5. My responsibilities included planning activities, supervising play, and taking the children on outings to the park, library, and zoo.
I am patient, reliable, and caring, and I speak conversational Spanish. I do not drive, but I am dependable and committed to providing safe, attentive care. References are available upon request.

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Meghan. I’ve babysat children of all ages, both in Baltimore and while attending Tulane University in New Orleans. Some of my favorite memories have come from building forts, doing arts and crafts, playing outside, reading stories, and finding fun ways to keep kids active, engaged, and laughing. Whether we’re spending the day at the pool, exploring a park, working on a craft project, or having a movie night, I love helping kids have a great time while making parents feel confident their children are in good hands.

In addition to babysitting, I worked as a lifeguard for several years, where I spent just as much time interacting with kids as I did ensuring their safety. That experience taught me responsibility, patience, and how to stay calm and attentive in any situation.

Families would describe me as dependable, energetic, caring, and easy to communicate with. I’m looking forward to meeting new families and creating a safe, positive, and fun environment for your children!

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.
