A little bit about me…

I am a recent college graduate with a love for children. I have a degree in undergraduate speech-language pathology and neuroscience, and hope to work with kids with autism in my future. I have volunteered, worked, and lived with kids throughout my life, and started babysitting at 12 years old. I have worked in a daycare center servicing infants to preschoolers, as well as an elementary school in the first and third grades. I volunteered most of my time throughout high school and my college summers in an elementary classroom with kids on the autism spectrum, which serviced ages 5 through 12 in their program. I am a caring individual and have been told my entire life that I'm a magnet for children, and it is some of my greatest joys to work with them as much as I have.

5 years experience

A little bit about me…

hello there! my name is Braelynn. I have about 5 years experience with babysitting. I have watched kids aged 1-12. I have watched kids with ASD and ADHD before and learned a lot from my time with those kiddos. I have taken the Red Cross babysitter course before and have done a CPR course in the past year and a half. In the past with babysitting I love engaging in activities the kids enjoy, so I am experienced in building blanket forts, fighting imaginary dragons, helping create the next Mona Lisa for the fridge, learning to be a goalie that is okay getting kicked with a soccer ball and just simply going on walks. During the summer months keeping cool is on the mind, when it comes to swimming I am comfortable with monitoring swim time if needed and I am an experienced swimmer. I am available all summer any time except Wednesdays 8-4 until August 24th.

A little bit about me…

Hey I’m kit! As a baby sitter I prioritize keeping the kids entertained while being safe. I enjoy doing art projects and hands on activities. I have experience baby sitting ages 4-10. I think these ages are fun! I have the patience needed for this age group. I am able to do light chores and create meals. I previously tutored 1st graders, so I am able to help with homework if needed! I am unable to watch kids at my own house.

I’m available after school (2:30-8:00) every weekday except Mondays. I’m available all day Saturdays! Hope to do business with you:)

Hello, my name is Alyssa. I’m 21 years old. I’d like to start out by saying I’m new to being paid to take care of children but taking care of children is something that I have experience in. I’ve cared for ages 2 months all the way to 13. I do not have my own children but I wish to be a mother some day. I grew up caring for my infant nephew, and have experience in caring for older children as well. I have a small dog that I have at home as well, so I am not afraid of pets, or animals.

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

Watertown 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.
