A little bit about me…

Hello my name is Brooklyn Pryor & I am 18 years old & just moved to Lansing for college! I am going to college to further become a behavioral specialist in an elementary school & I grew a deep passion working with kids over the last two years I was in High School, I was in the Education Academy class at the Career Center in Battle Creek & I had the opportunity to work with grades K-5 4 days a week in the classroom! While being in the Education Academy class I was able to learn a wide range of skills from basic problem solving skills all the way to a basic first aid/CPR certificate! My passion for working with kids is still just as strong & I feel like babysitting would be a lot more efficient towards my career vs a basic 9-5 waitressing job etc. I also have 3 younger siblings I have been looking after since 2015 so the experience is definitely there!!

A little bit about me…

I have 16 years of experience in the Early Childhood setting. I have an associate's in Child Development and Early Education from LCC and a bachelor's in Sociology from GVSU. I have worked in most positions in the field. I started off as an aide/assistant, then worked my way to lead teacher. At one point I was even the assistant director of the city of East Lansing's child care program at bailey.

I am a big believer in fostering the social/emotional development of children. When that area of development is fostered I find the others will follow. That is not to say I don't foster cognitive, motor, language, and literacy development as well. I love to be outside. As a teacher I love brining all the aspects of the classroom outdoors.

I am First Aid, CPR, and AED certified. (5/21) I can furnish letters of recommendation and references upon request.

A little bit about me…

I am 61 years old, in very good physical health. I have 10 children of my own, the last of whom just began high school. I had my own in-home daycare for special needs children as well as opening the daycare at my church some years ago. I have 14 grandchildren (new one expected in the summer).
My rate is negotiable for more than one child and I will consider a flat rate for full-time and non traditional hours. I am not recently certified in first aid or CPR, however in my own family I have had experience with just about every childhood ailment imaginable and I don't panic.
It would be my pleasure to help with your childcare needs.

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

Lansing 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.
