A little bit about me

I am a licensed Occupational Therapist returning to nannying / babysitting after 5 years as an OT working with both kiddos and adults. I am taking a hiatus from full time practice to find a part time family to care for while I work on my own business. I have always loved working with kids, first as a sitter for 10+ years and then as an OT with pediatric experience for 2 years. I have worked with kids from 2 months to 14 years old with experience in early child development, progressing developmental milestones, emotional regulation, sensory processing, ADHD management, and more. I love to incorporate developmentally appropriate play when I nanny, and my favorite activities with kiddos include reading, going outdoors, and using my languages if it’s a fit with the family. I treat childcare as more than just a job, and you will find that I am a responsible, patient, and nurturing caregiver who wants the best for your children. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

A little bit about me

Namaste,



My name is Iman and I am a enthusiastic and energetic Nanny who enjoys hiking with my lab, yoga, gardening, and sitting for my neighbors!
I am currently in school to become a natural path at the washing institute of natural medicine.
I love being a nanny because it allows me to be a helping hand to not only the children but to the parents as well by taking care the housekeeping, running errands and taking care of the pet care. But the best part is getting the chance to interact with the adorable children, keeping them safe, being a role model, and all while having a great time.

A little bit about me

Career nanny with 15+ years experience looking to partner with a great family. The love for my job is reflected by the care that I give to my littles and the relationships formed with the family’s. Reading is one of my passions and I’ve been fortunate to share that with the tikes I care for (and it's paid off, they all love books). I stay active and engaged (not on the phone), I am fully present. My references can speak for the enjoyment I get out of spending time with my kiddos as well as my character, dependability, patience, safe care and the love my little humans are showered with.

After 7 yrs full time with my current family (3 yrs live-out Hoboken, NJ /4yrs live-in Chevy Chase) the twins have now joined O. in school full time. It’s a heartbreaking transition when you’re not seeing these little faces every day, however I am excited to connect with new little people and explore life with them.

Also, new parents have always found me to be an asset and I take pride in that.

A little bit about me

My name is Aline, and I’m originally from Brazil. I have several years of experience working with children, both as an ESL teacher and a nanny. I love creating fun, educational, and supportive environments where kids feel safe, valued, and excited to learn.

I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in Criminal Justice at Boston University remotely, and I previously worked as a teacher in public schools, where I taught English to students from diverse backgrounds. That experience taught me patience, communication, and how to adapt to each child’s unique personality and needs.

I’m responsible, caring, and very organized. I enjoy cooking, keeping things tidy, and planning creative activities. I’m also comfortable helping with homework, bedtime routines, or family scheduling. I’m open to both part-time and live-in nanny positions, and I always bring a positive attitude, kindness, and reliability to the families I work with.

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.
