A little bit about me

My name is Sheree and I’m a Freshman in college. I have the qualities I believe a nanny should have. I have some experience from 10 months old to 14yrs old. I’m known for being very meticulous with my work. I’m always gravitating toward the younger kids at family functions since what makes us alike is our creative imaginations. I don’t always know the right answer but my problem-solving skills are far beyond my age group. I have a few talents I believe the kids will enjoy. I have my own business in which I bake and sell my homemade goods so there will always be something sweet to snack on. I can cook small meals. I held 3 nanny jobs in the past, so this would not be my first job. I’m in my first year in college so my weekday availability is somewhat flexible besides a few in-person and online classes. If needed on weekends I prefer mornings-afternoon but I can be flexible.

A little bit about me

Hi! I am a current Sophomore in college and am looking for a summer job as my internship was sadly cancelled due to COVID 19. I am a Food Science major with a minor in sustainability. Additionally, my first job was actually as a swim instructor at my local pool so I would be more than happy to work with kids in swimming during the summer months! I finish my finals on the 24th of May and am happy to start at any time.

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

College Park 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.
