A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Cassidy and I am a 22-year-old part time college student and babysitter. I am the oldest of 3 children and have been babysitting for 3 years. I have experience with newborn to 10 years old. I am also a photographer! I spend most weeknights photographing concerts. I love to engage with kids if that means getting down on the floor and playing, running around outside, creating fun activities, etc. I am more than willing to help out around the house whether that be laundry, light cleaning, or cooking. I'd love to get to know you and your kids and provide some support for your family!

A little bit about me

Hello Parents!
I've been working as a nanny for 15 years with children of every age, happily performing possibly every imaginable task related to childcare. I have strong communication skills, a fun personality, am very reliable and relatable, and CPR/First Aid certified. I enjoy both indoor activities and outdoor, active play; love arts and crafts, reading to and teaching children, and especially enjoy having the opportunity and privilege of taking the kids on adventures! I'm seeking a part-time position - ideally, 2-3 days during the week. Would love to meet your family!

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.
