I have been working with children professionally since 2018, I hold a list of college certifications in early childhood education that allow me to work in a classroom with up to 20 children ranging in ages from 6 weeks to 6 years. I use a mix of teaching styles to ensure children in my care are provided with personalized learning experiences.I am state background checked and come with great references from families that I have worked for privately as well as co workers.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Davion, but most people know me as Didi. I’m a stay-at-home mom to two amazing boys—Josiah (6) and Maison (1). I recently moved from Arkansas to Maryland and am excited to connect with local families. I have over four years of experience working with children as a teacher assistant and campus supervisor at eStem Public Charter School. I also provided summer childcare for families in my church and school community. While this is my first time formally working as a nanny, caring for children is something I truly enjoy. I love being outdoors, listening to music, and learning something new every day. I offer attentive, old-school babysitting with a warm and nurturing approach. I’m also happy to assist with light housekeeping and pet care. I’m reasonably priced and flexible to fit a variety of family needs. I look forward to meeting you and supporting your family however I can!

A little bit about me

Hi!

I am an Early Childhood Educator/ Care provider. I have over 10+ years of childcare experience. I have been a certified MSDE teacher in the state of Maryland for over 6 years. I am very outdoorsy, and spontaneous. I live going on adventures with the children, hence why I’ve transferred over into nannying. I’ve realized that nannying allows me the freedom to explore with the children daily. I believe that trips, daily walks, library visits, etc is crucial to the child’s development!

I love coloring, painting, singing and exploring. I am looking to find a new family long term. My last nanny contract was 4 years, and only ended once grade school started! I was able to send the little one well prepared, the school even recommended promotion to kindergarten, after assessments showed milestones was met, scoring above average! I hope to meet a new family soon!

Thank you!
Janiya

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.
