A little bit about me

Hi, My name is Marcely and I'm from Brazil. I'm a caring, fun, and loving person who always does my work with a lot of dedication and love. I would like to share a little about my experience. I started taking care of my little cousin in 2015. I helped change her diapers, looked after her during the day, spent time playing with her, and prepared her meals. After that, I had several other experiences with children. I also volunteered at a daycare, where I worked both with babies and with children between 2 and 3/4 years old. I helped with their development, including speech and walking.
I was also an au pair for two years, from October 2023 to October 2025. I stayed with the same family during that time and took care of three children who were 4, 7, and 10 years old when I started. I prepared their meals, drove them to many activities, It was a wonderful experience where I both taught and learned a lot from the children.
Best regards,
Marcely

A little bit about me

I’m kid number 5 for my parents so the nieces and nephews started coming early for me. Mom’s the eldest of 5 so the cousins started even earlier. As the little lady of the family, I took it upon myself to teach the little ones the way. From ways to cool down on a hot day at the fair to new words for big, I had it handled. Two years of child development and more certifications on the way, I’m the perfect hawk to have keep watch.

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.
