A little bit about me

My name is Mercadese Rhein, I am currently 19. I work as a home health aide at the moment but would love to do something different. I have been babysitting since I was about 16.. I love animals (of course if you have any, they will be loved) and absolutely adore children (I do want some of my own one day). I love going on adventures/ going to the gym on my free time. I haven’t found “the perfect job” for me yet & I am hoping that will all change soon. I don’t want your kids seeing me as an employee, I want them to feel trusted with me inside and outside of your home, realize that I’m there to help not replace and most importantly to be their bestfriend.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Christina. I am a senior at Kutztown University majoring in elementary education and continuing on for my reading specialist certification and masters degree. I love working with children. I was a daycare and preschool teacher for 2 years. I would prefer to watch children at my residence in order to maintain a stable routine for the children. I also watch my niece (3) and nephew (2) occasionally. They make amazing play dates for kids their age. Older children love them as well, taking on a nurturing role. I often plan activities and crafts for my kids. If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Orwigsburg, PA

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 Orwigsburg can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Orwigsburg 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 Pennsylvania?
  • Do you have a Pennsylvania 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.
