A little bit about me

My name is Isabella and I am a first year law student at UNL. I am aspiring in a career where I represent children in the legal field. I am interested in babysitting in order to earn some extra money to help support me this school year.
I have years of experience, as I’ve been babysitting my cousins, neighbor's children, and for family friends since I was 14. 1 also did volunteer work at my church's nursery, worked my winter break at my aunt's daycare, and the majority of my summer this year was spent watching my three and one year old nephew.
I absolutely adore kids and my top priority is their safety.

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Shyann Smith, and I'm 19 years old. I have valuable experience babysitting my almost 2-year-old nephew and almost 6 months working in a daycare, which has helped me develop patience, creativity, and a strong sense of responsibility. Outside of childcare, I enjoy reading, spending time with my family and friends, and visiting fun places like the zoo. These hobbies allow me to unwind, connect with loved ones, and explore new experiences that enrich my life.

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Lincoln, NE

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 Lincoln can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Lincoln 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 Nebraska?
  • Do you have a Nebraska 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.
