A little bit about me
After graduating from CWU, I went on to direct children's theatre at Centerstage in Federal Way. This went on for three years, so I was able to coach and guide and mentor many of the same children/young adults, watching them grow from year to year, into these amazing little people! Putting on productions with a handful of nine and ten year olds, a few twelve year olds, and the all knowing fifteen year old...not easy...but fun and challenging and ultimately a success!
From there I joined College Nannies and Tutors in Seattle. I was an on-call nanny, meaning I was able to help out multiple families when they needed someone. Along the way I picked up regulars who asked for me: two little girls, three and five, who loved to play chase and swing outside. Another family had a pair of boy/girl twins, age three, who also had texture issues when eating. We had to find foods the boy liked, and integrate interesting and unique ways to get him to try new foods out of his comfort zone. They moved after a year, but did ask if I'd be available in their new area. Unfortunately I was not able to follow them.
I was permanently placed with a family. They had a boy and girl, nine and eleven, when I first started with them. I would help get the kids up, make everyone breakfast, prepare and pack up lunches for the kids, then drive them to school. I remember having a race against the clock one morning, trying to put the girls hair I'm crazy braids for a school function later in the day. It was wild! The summer I was with them, we would walk to the park and play with the dogs, we made diy stress balls, had water balloon fights (which we recorded in slow motion and it was so neat!), made tie-dye shirts, and the young boy...

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Pendleton, OR
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 Pendleton can impact how much you pay your babysitter.
Pendleton 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 Oregon?
- Do you have a Oregon 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.
