A little bit about me

Certified: CPR, Medication Administration, Basic Health & Safety Training, ADA, Keep Infants Safe

Hi! I'm Vic - 33, married, and mom to my sweet 19-month-old. Caring for others isn't just something I do, it's genuinely who I am. With over 10 years spent around children and people of all ages, I've learned to listen closely, stay calm under pressure, and truly anticipate what someone needs. I'm a homebody at heart. But I also have an adventurous side: camping, hiking, and discovering new places and flavors light me up. I speak Portuguese, Spanish, and English fluently, so connecting with people comes easily to me.

I have a law degree and spent years working closely with politicians in Brazil, which taught me discretion, patience, and how to communicate gracefully - even in tricky moments. I'm trustworthy, warm, fun to be around, and I show up fully for the people I support. I'd love the chance to bring that same care into your daily life.

A little bit about me

I am 20 years old college student and the elder of a family of 3 children. As the oldest of all my cousins with a big gap between my age and theirs, I have always been in the position of babysitter. Thus, it made me extremely caring, patient, friendly, and a good listener. I am naturally a hard worker and an enthusiastic person. I love reading, cooking, and playing board games. By the way, I am a good cook.

Hi! My name is Rebeca. I have a strong passion for working with children and bring hands-on experience in nurturing and teaching them with care and patience. I use Montessori-inspired methods for those interested in a more structured, child-led approach to learning.

I truly enjoy engaging with kids through play, exploration, and learning—celebrating every stage of their development. Whether it’s encouraging creativity, supporting independence, or just having fun, I’m committed to creating a warm, safe, and enriching environment for every child.

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

Silver Spring 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.
