Recent reference

"Maria is taking care of my 8-month daughter as a part time nanny. She is just what we were looking for, a mature nanny with life experience who can not only take care of our infant but also give us her advice and substitute a granma, since our families live in Europe. She is helping me during hours I have to work,so she plays with my daughter, changes diapers/clothes, feeds her and takes her to their daily walk in the park. She does things automatically so I really don't have to remind or explaining anything and I'm not afraid to leave my daughter with her. She is very sweet and pays all attention to my daughter during the hours I need to work. I definitely recommend Maria."

I am a mother of three and a grandmother of nine. I have taken care of all of them. My oldest granddaughter is 18 and the youngest grandson two. I fed the children, administered medication, and took them to school and doctor’s appointments. I watched over them at swim lessons and when they learned to ride a bicycle.
I am a high school graduate, and I came to America from Nigeria in June, 2018. I love making new friends, travel, reading, church, and driving. I am a happy person and enjoy learning new things and new ideas. I do not use alcohol or tobacco.
I am dependable, reliable, compassionate and caring. I am proud of my rich experiences with children. I can bring your children up in your home. I can be your nanny or your baby sitter.

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

Gaithersburg 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.
