Experienced, compassionate, caring, athletic, energetic, patient, preschool teacher, master yoga instructor, great driver. I am creative, self starting, clean and tidy. College graduate, have taught and worked with children all over the world, including the Peace Corps in Guatemala, orphanages in India, Peru, and Bolivia, taught English in Thailand, and have nannied for multiple families in NJ and CA. If you are open to the idea of a 'Manny', I am, without a doubt, the best.I have been teaching preschool full time for the past 5 years. I specialize in empowering children to learn to self regulate their emotions and energy through breath awareness. I am able to help calm the crankiest baby and the moodiest toddler. I am fun and playful, yet rock solid in my boundaries. I bring calm and ease, while instilling a sense of cooperation and teamwork. I believe 100% in the benefits of children being screen free as much as possible.

A little bit about me…

Hi! I collectively have over 18 years of both volunteer and paid experience caring for children of all ages and in multiple settings. I've babysat, worked at a day camp, worked at a preschool for about 3 years, and have been nannying since then.

I personally try my best to create a safe space for every child I care for in order for them to learn more of who they are and navigate that. Communication is very important to me and I help each child learn to understand and communicate their needs as best they can at their age. I've found they do well with a balance of exploring outside, trying new activities and quieter activities like reading, drawing, etc. Individualized care tailored to each child's uniqueness is important!

English is my first language, I know how to cook, clean, and do arts and crafts. I am willing to travel, go on field trips, make meals, clean, do laundry, pick up and drop off for school. I am a very open and kind soul, looking for a nice family to work for and with.

I am a young lady who has a passion for children! I love the arts, fashion, and traveling! The children and families I have nannied for have truly become family to me. I enjoy going on walks and taking the kids on new adventures, but I also enjoy putting on a movie and just hanging out with them. Being part of the small things during their day is the most rewarding part. I love listening to music and making friends when I’m free. I play piano, and sing.

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Austin, TX

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 Austin can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Austin 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 Texas?
  • Do you have a Texas 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.
