A little bit about me

Dear Families,

My name is Candela. I am 27 years old, originally from Argentina, and I live in Reisterstown, MD. I studied to become an Education Teacher in Argentina and have over 3 years of childcare experience caring for children from toddlers to teenagers. I also have experience supporting children with special needs.

I speak Spanish and conversational English (B1) and enjoy creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where children can learn and grow. I love reading, crafts, music, outdoor activities, and educational play. Families describe me as patient, kind, responsible, trustworthy, organized, and punctual.

I have excellent references available upon request and would love the opportunity to care for your little ones!

"I have a now 4 year old girl name Sarah and Josephine was my sitter from when i brought Sarah home until she was two and i moved to TX. I wish i could’ve brought Josephine With me because She Was such a big Help. I have her a list of things i needed done and i was never disappointed. My daughter was always put to sleep on time fed worn out from playing and everything. And the days my Sarah has tantrums Josephine was real patient and talked to her saying she understood her frustration what can she do to help and she listened to my daughters complaints. (Because Sarah Wanted More pudding) Nd it helped calm her down while i stepped in. My experience with josephine was nothing but great and i would recommend her to anyone. "

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

Westminster 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.
