I was 12 years old when my little brother was born and helped raise him which included feeding, bringing to the park, putting to sleep, reading too. I have also done various babysitting jobs all through highschool for children ages 2-7. Recently I helped a family full time for 8 weks because the mother had neck surgery. I cared for her 18month old daughter and did everything from feeding, playing with, reading too, taking to the park. Also this past summer I was full time summer nanny for 4 children.

A little bit about me…

I was a child care giver for two kids. One of them was 6 and the brother that was 12.I watched them for about a year and a few months. Then they moved and I stoped watching them, due to the fact that their parents were going through a divorce. I also watched their cousins a couple of times when their parents needed the extra help.Then I took care of a 3 year old for about 6 months, I use to work for his parents at their restaurant. I stoped watching him, because their sister and law had another kid and was open to take care of the child I babysitted.

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Island Park, NY

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 Island Park can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Island Park 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 New York?
  • Do you have a New York 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.
