I love working with kids, they have a very open mind and I love hearing them talk about anything they want or have a passion for.

10+ years experience

A little bit about me…

Hello! My name is Elinor and I just moved to the Bay Area to teach at a local middle school where I teach 7th grade English and 8th grade math. Prior to moving here, I lived in Maine for five years and worked at a boarding school as a teacher, coach, and dorm parent. I grew up in DC and am the eldest of four children. In middle school I became a primary caretaker of my younger siblings in single parent household. I love working with children of all ages and have been babysitting since age 12 and have babysat for up to four kids at a time.
As I just moved here, I am looking for work after the school day and on the weekends. I can help around the house, with tutoring, etc. I have babysat kids ages 3-18. As previously mentioned, I recently worked at a boarding school for five years where I also ran a girls dormitory for 28 girls ages 13-20. I look forward to partnering with you, Elinor. I am CPR and first aid certified.

A little bit about me…

Hello ! My name is Kisyah, and I’d love to help support you and your family. I have 3+ years of experience in the medical field, including pediatric/family medicine for a little under 1 year. I am comfortable with cooking and cleaning, as well as other household chores. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and my license is renewed annually.

I am currently 22 years old, and I grew up in a large family. I have years of experience caring for children, from new born to teens, and I am always open to a challenge! I work very well under pressure and emergencies, should a situation arise. I am confident I’d be an asset to your lovely family.

A little bit about us…

Hi!

We have a newborn child (boy, 3 weeks old) and would like help with:

Housekeeping - standard cleaning, tidying, organization, dishes, trash take out

Laundry - Once per week, folded and put away

Occasional light meals & grocery runs - this is not required but is a definite plus. The grocery store is right down the street and meals could be made in bulk to last a few days if this service could be provided.

Possible occasional running of errands

Occasional childcare (feeding, diaper changing, etc). We are still working out our new schedule and may want this person to cover some “night nurse/nanny” shifts in the future.

We are still adjusting to becoming new parents! We are open to your recommendations in creating our new schedule as well and look forward to speaking with an experienced nanny housekeeper.

Thanks!

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Oakland, CA

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 Oakland can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Oakland 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 California?
  • Do you have a California 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.
