A little bit about me

Hi. My name is Yolaine Boyer. I was born in Haiti but I've been in the States for 18 years. I am a 53 year old woman with kids myself one 23 and one 16. They described me as patient, loving, a very good care taker and listener, and easy to talk to. I consider myself a good communicator and will always make sure that if there is anything wrong I will first ensure your children's safety and notify you parents. And that's just a little about me.

A little bit about me

My name is Kaylin Webb. I am 24 years old, and all of my life I have loved children. The bond you can create at any age, the friendship and trust that can be earned, the fun you can have together, the opportunities to teach and grow, the love that is formed between each other are just a few examples of why children excite me. As a babysitter with 10+ years of experience and being 8, 10, & 13 years older than my four younger siblings, I have learned how to thrive with all age groups. I love to not just supervise your children but entertain them, teach them, and grow them as much as I can through crafts, the outdoors, outings, school materials, music, art, playful activities, and so much more. I hope to not just be in your home but make a difference for the better in your home, with your child, and with your family. Being CPR certified, having my driver's license and my own car, being available to start as soon as possible, and my love for kiddos, I hope I am a good fit for your family.

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

Laurel 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.
