A little bit about me

Most families would describe me as a committed, caring, and fun caregiver. I love reading, music time, baking and being a loving Nanny. But I mainly love being around children and being able to make a difference in a child's life.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Emily, and I’m an 18-year-old who genuinely loves working with kids. Growing up with four siblings, I’m very used to a fast-paced house and know how to keep things organized and fun!

I enjoy babysitting because it allows me to help parents take a well-deserved break, knowing their little ones are in safe and active hands. Outside of babysitting, I spend my time coaching softball and being involved with my church.

I’m happy to help with homework, prepare snacks, or come up with creative games to keep everyone entertained. I look forward to meeting your family!

A little bit about me

Hello!, I'm Tanaye Martin and l am 19 years old. I worked in a daycare center for a year, l grew up in the same daycare and as soon as I was old enough I took the opportunity to work in that same daycare. I spent my great time working with the children, assisting them in their development while also assisting the lead teachers of whatever room I was in. I can adapt to any age pretty quickly and easily because I was bouncing to whatever room needed my assistance so I have experiences with ages 6 weeks-school age. I also assisted in preparing the meals for the school age children and breakfast in the morning, I also went to culinary school so I am serv safe certified. While outside of work I have many younger god siblings and also a god daughter myself who I help to take care of occasionally from time to time. But when I'm not around the children I enjoy traveling and picking up a few hobbies, just recently l visited Seoul South Korea to learn the Korean language.

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

Essex 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.
