A little bit about me

Hola mi nombre es María Elena Ducastaing, soy de nacionalidad Peruana, vivo en la ciudad de Derwood; he trabajado en un Daycare por casi 12 años y luego con una familia donde los esposos son médicos, Con ellos he trabajado por más de 11 años, hablo algo de inglés pero mi idioma es el español, el cual le enseñó a los niños (si ustedes gustan)mi trabajo específico es cuidar del bebé con responsabilidad y esmero, me gusta hacerle su rutina diaria, prepararle sus alimentos, lavar su ropita, bañarlos (si lo desean), ordenarles el cuarto y enseñarles a que sean ordenados, les enseño los números, letras, pintar, manualidades, jugar, música. Yo tengo mi carro pero preferiría que me den alguno para salir con el bebé a la biblioteca o algún parque, si así lo desean.

A little bit about me

I have worked as a nanny and a senior caregiver for more than nine years. Over the time I have had many different experiences from which I learned much. Love has always been my work philosophy since I try to be more than just a caregiver, offering companionship and helping with daily activities. As a nanny, I have worked very much. Families loved my job because I always did my best. I had the opportunity to work with kids aged just months to 7 years. My activities included preparing their breakfast, making their lunch, putting them to sleep, driving them to school, playing with them outdoors and, indoors making crafts, reading books and basically supplying their needs. I'm a very careful, responsible, punctual, flexible, reliable and organized person.. You will be really happy to have me as your nanny or caregiver.

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

Bethesda 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.
