A little bit about me

Hi, my name's Makayla and I’m 22 years old. I’ve been a nanny since I was 17 years old and it’s the best job I’ve ever had. I’m CPR and first aid certified. I’ve worked with kids ranging from newborn to 14 years old. I’m currently working to complete my nursing degree. I’m looking for another job because my current child is aging out of childcare into school!

A little bit about me

I'm safety oriented but lots of fun and do arts and crafts and go outside in most weather except rain. I raised 2 special needs boys. I am a Christian. Been in the same church decades. I'm on a motorized scooter until I can save up for a car. I've had to start life over from scratch because of an abusive marriage but my head is screwed on straight. My church will back me up on that. I work at Upper Bay Counseling as a van driver and Tractor Supply some nights but I am willing to phase out Tractor Supply for the right family. I just passed a background check at UB and a drug test and can be tested randomly. Also I used to be a dog/cat groomer and break horses so if you have pets ...cool! I'm trusting God to lead me in this endeavor as He builds a new, happy life for me and I hope to be a blessing to a family who needs me. I love my UB job and need the benefits and it's from 9-3 mon- Fri. Thank you.

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

Elkton 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.
