A little bit about me

Career Nanny with a Background in Early Childhood Education/Psychology with 8 + years of experience both in home for families as well as student teaching.
I chose to become a nanny because I truly love being an asset to families who need that extra bit of help due to the chaos that is work-life balance. I genuinely love assisting families in raising little ones into not just educationally intelligent but also emotionally intelligent young people. I believe incorporating education with a focus on meeting emotional needs as well as developmental milestones. I find my educational background and all around kid at heart persona allow me to truly find a passion in being a nanny.
Originally from Alabama. Roll Tide. I am the youngest of five. I'm terrible at ABOUT MEs, I could talk about why I'm a nanny incessantly. But I only have 1000 words, so feel free to reach out and ask any question or about me topic detail I may have missed, or not considered.
Thanks!

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Hannah and I have been a nanny for about a year now. I worked with a single mom with two amazing boys who I loved, but unfortunately moved out of state. I cooked, did housekeeping, and ran errands as well as did homework help, woke and tucked in the boys, and we all began learning Spanish together! I absolutely love kids and would love to be the new addition to your family:)

"Sami was wonderful with my kids! The loved her and couldn’t wait for her to come over. She was also always on time and very reliable. She spent hours outside with them when the weather permitted and would help with breakfast or lunch as needed. My children are 4 and 8 and very rambunctious. Sami also helped in the beginning of the school year with virtual learning, but unfortunately I had to transition my daughter into a learning pod for personal reasons. I will continue to use Sami on nights and weekends and hopefully next summer. She’s a gem and was a pleasure to have around."

A little bit about me

I have experience both in nannying and babysitting. I spent the summer of 2024 nannying one child. I have also babysat for neighbors and families along with working aftercare at a local preschool. I have my own vehicle to provide reliable transportation to work and for driving your children. I am happy to and experienced in running errands, taking kids to the pool, movies, etc., prepping meals, cleaning/tidying the house, and assisting with school work. I am an older sister so caring for younger kids has always been a big part of my life. It is an incredible experience and a privilege to get to know a child and watch them as they grow and learn. Every child deserves to feel cared for, safe, and comfortable with their babysitter. I make it my mission to make sure every child I babysit or nanny feels this way.

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

Towson 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.
