A little bit about me

College student looking for part time babysitting/nanny positions. Caring for children has always been a natural part of my life. With 4+ years of experience as a trusted family and family-friend babysitter, I specialize in caring for infants and toddlers, while also having experience with younger school-aged children. I am known for being patient, nurturing, fun, and attentive, while also knowing when to step into an adult role to ensure safety and structure. I value open communication with parents and follow household routines closely. As a full-time Business Management student, I am highly organized, dependable, and committed to providing consistent, high-quality care for the families I work with.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Taleiah, and I have a deep passion for working with young children. I recently completed a 90-hour Infant and Toddler certification, which strengthened my skills in understanding and supporting early childhood development. I’ve worked with children of all ages, but I especially enjoy working with toddlers between 12–24 months—they’re so curious, full of personality, and at such a fun stage of learning and growth! I have experience as a childcare aide and lead teacher, and I’m certified in CPR, First Aid, and Basic Health & Safety. I focus on creating a safe, nurturing environment where children feel loved, supported, and encouraged to explore and learn at their own pace. Families describe me as dependable, patient, and calm under pressure. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, preparing meals, and daily routines like naps, feeding, or playtime.
I’d love the opportunity to bring my skills and experience to your family and help your little one thrive!

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.
