A little bit about me

Hi my name is Nicole everyone calls me Nickey. I started out as a teen mom having 2 girls by 16. I did end up finishing high school with a certification in nursing in geriatrics. To be completely honest my heart couldn’t take the care these people
Were not receiving to clocking in and a patient passing during the night. I did a few years cleaning but always find myself coming back to being a nanny. Kids just put me in a great mood and I don’t consider it work. I have 4 kids 2 grown another 16 and another 10. We just welcomed our 1st grandchild and after a short break im ready to return to work. My schedule is about as flexible as you can find as either my husband or older daughter are home all the time so Childcare for me is taken care of. I drive a small Cadillac. I will do all ages and special needs, run errands, light house keeping, meal prep, and running the kids around where ever they need to be. Pay is determined on the work entitled in job description. I get along with everyone

Recent reference

"Nicole was so great with my daughter who is on the spectrum. She kept up with my daughters routine and rituals which can be very rigid. She was very responsible, always on time, and just made everything so much easier leaving my baby to go back to work. She was able to incorporate some play therapy into nannying since she would sometimes take my daughter to therapy. I believe this was one of the reasons my daughter flourished and became more verbal and social. She took care of my baby like she would take care of her own and it was a very amazing experience."

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.
