A little bit about me…

Hi, my name is Marissa, and I would love to tell you a little about myself. I am a huge animal lover, I love reading, I love baking & cooking, swimming, spending time outdoors. I have been taking care of children since I was 16 years old. Some of the positions I've had were being a babysitter, a nanny, and a daycare assistant. I am currently working on getting my Associate's Degree in Early Childhood Education. I have also taken many classes on how I can improve the care and well being of the children I take care of. I have experience taking care of children between the ages of 3 weeks old to 14-year-olds. I love coming up with fun arts and crafts projects that encourage creativity, going on fun and educational outings like going to the library, the museum, the beach, the zoo, going to events geared towards children, and many more places. I also enjoy coming up with fun activities to do: doing science experiments, baking, exploring the outdoors, going on walks, and reading.

A little bit about me…

Hi there! My name is Veronica I’m 20 years old, I have my highschool diploma and am undecided on my future plans. I used to work at a preschool with ages ranging from 3-5 years old. I was there for about a year and half. I worked with the kids on learning to be independent, learning the alphabet, numbers, name recognition, fine motor and gross motor skills. I love trying new things and being out in nature! Currently I nanny a 1 1/2 year old in the mornings. I grew up in a daycare environment and I have a large family and close relationships with them. I love working with kids and making relationships with them and watching them grow!

A little bit about me…

I love kids and animals! I’m a kid at heart. I would love to care for a little one for a long period of time to help them grow into an amazing little human as well as grow along side them. I believe kids also teach you new things everyday and challenge you to grow as a person as well. I worked in the infant room of a daycare for over a year, so I do well with stress and busy schedules. I also have my own small business I recently started where I make and sell resin art. I have 2 cats and a dog and just recently moved to Kalamazoo with my boyfriend. Looking forward to a new opportunity to care for some amazing kiddos! I’m fully vaccinated!

A little bit about me…

Hi! My name is Andria Martin. I have babysat for practically my entire life. I started out with my siblings. I have a brother and sister, whom I still babysit to this day. The beginning of this year I found an app called "Bambino." It helped me to find numerous families that needed a last minute sitter. I love kids with all my heart. I can't have kids of my own, so watching and being able to interact with kids is a huge plus for me. I hope to find a family that I can build trust within to continuously babysit for them.
I am 20 years old, I just turned 20 on the 8th. I would prefer to babysit in my home as I'm a nanny for 3 little girls in my home.

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

Kalamazoo 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.
