A little bit about me…

I just moved to Michigan. I am a 17 year old junior and I am living with my mom. I have experience with kids, dogs, and babies. My younger brother is autistic as well, so I have slight experience with special needs kids. I will gladly clean, cook, take care of dogs, and anything else that is needed of me. I would like to do every other week if that is possible at all. However, the weeks that I am here I can work everyday. I love kids and I know that this is a job I will love!

A little bit about me…

I have been working as a nanny for the past 10 or so years mainly with new borns up to 4 years. I have watched and help the children grow into wonderful little kids. I love what I do and wouldn't want to change my line of work. Helping being a extra set of hands with kids is what I love. I was a Nanny in New Zealand on and of for 3 years while I was in College and have been a nanny in Michigan since 2004. I love the kids I have been a nanny for. It is a joy teaching youngsters new things and helping their development. I know basic sign language and tend to find myself saying and signing without even realizing I'm doing it.

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Ferndale, MI

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 Ferndale can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Ferndale 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 Michigan?
  • Do you have a Michigan 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.
