A little bit about me…

! I'm a compassionate and dedicated nanny with a passion for nurturing and supporting children's growth and development. With over 5 years of experience in childcare, I have honed my skills in providing a safe, loving, and stimulating environment for little ones to thrive in. I believe in fostering creativity, curiosity, and kindness in every child I care for, and I am committed to meeting their individual needs with patience and understanding.

A little bit about me…

Hello!
My name is Kenzie, I am 24, and I am soon-to-graduate from UNG with a B.S in Psychology!
I will be walking in December, with one final credit to be finished in Fall '23.

I have been working in childcare since my very first job at 14.
I started as a babysitter, and my most recent job has been as a lead preschool teacher.
I am passionate about providing care to younger generations!
Both my work and my academic experience inform my childcare philosophy, keeping my approach well-rounded and up-to-date with the most recent developments in childcare research.

I am personally interested in art and fashion- my minor is in art history, and my eventual career goal is to conduct academic research in art psychology. I hope to go to graduate school after a few years of saving!

In the meantime, I want to spend my time and energy caring for the next generation.
I love children, and I look forward to the time I spend both teaching and learning from them!

Thanks for reading! : )

A little bit about me…

I'm an Oregon girl living on the east coast. With a decade of experience working with children of all ages! I have a full-time job with the ODHS Child Welfare, remotely until I find a full time nanny position. Evenings and weekends, I nanny for an amazing family in the village, but as the kiddos are getting older, they’ll soon no longer need extra help. I've witnessed their growth, smiles, and laughter, and it's truly rewarding. Being there for important milestones is something I cherish. I truly believe nannying is what I'm meant to do, I just need the right opportunity. Both my parents are elementary teachers, and I spent a lot of time in the classroom in my early 20s. While I considered going into teaching, I feel that I can contribute my talents and values more effectively with a family. If you have any questions or need references, please don't hesitate to reach out!

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

New York 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.
