A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Bridgette! I have over 7 years of experience as a nanny, working with children from 3 months to 14 years old, and I really enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids.

I'm also a stay at home mom to a 7 month old , so I'm currently looking for a position with a family who would be comfortable with me bringing my baby along. I'm very mindful of making sure your child receives plenty of attention, care, and structure, and I've found it can be a really positive and social environment for little ones.

I'm hands on with routines, feeding, naps, playtime, and age appropriate outings if that is something the family would be interested in!
I'm also reliable, communicative, and happy to provide updates so you always feel at ease.

I'd love to learn more about your family and see if we might be a good fit

A little bit about me

Hi my name is Kendal! I am 19! I’ve been doing childcare my whole life! I love growing personal connections and relationships with not only the child I look after but the parents of the child. I enjoy spending time outside and have a very big creative side when it comes to children! Getting to know the family I work with is very important to me. I use the gentle parenting technique when looking after any child. Although if there are times that I have to step up and give a bit of tough love I can do so. I rather the child be comfortable with falling apart in my arms and trusting they are safe so they can get past whatever fear or problem they are facing, rather then setting up a wall between the two of us and giving no source of security for them. I am not yet CPR or First Aid certified but I would be more than willing to take the classes before we move on to becoming a team! I’m excited to hear from you!

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

Hanover 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.
