A little bit about me…

Hello! I started working with kids when I was 15, working as a summer camp counselor on a farm camp. I loved it so much I worked 4 full summers there, teaching kids from 3-13 about animals, plants, food and fibers. I most recently worked at an educational nonprofit in Marin that teachers youth about the outdoors and farming. I get so much joy from spending time with kids and love sharing my passion for nature and the simple joys in life with them. I have an MSc in Agroecology and am looking for a position while I look for something long term for my career, but would be open to staying on to something part time if it worked out! I speak German and English and love cooking, knitting and sharing these activities with others.

A little bit about me…

Hello my name is Kim, I am a single Mom of a 23 year old and a Grandma to a 1 month old baby girl.
I adore children, I wish I could of had 10 of my own, I would have.
I am a loving, friendly outgoing person, who is reliable, respectful and trustworthy.
I love arts & crafts, scrapbooking, amusement parks, the beach, adventures, children, learning new things and I love my family.
Watching children grow and learn is so incredible. Building confidence and self esteem is very important and I feel the people we have in our children’s lives should care, love and respect them as if they were their own.
I would love to have the opportunity to meet to see if I am what you are looking for and if I would be a good fit as your nanny.
I look forward in hearing from you, thank you very much for taking the time to read my profile.
Happiness and Smiles,
KIm

A little bit about me…

I began my career as a Montessori teacher with infants to age 3 years of age. I’m a “whisperer” with children & love being a guide to help children develop their own sense of self.
I enjoy teaching children how to swim, sports, yoga, listening to music, being in nature, art, reading books, being around animals & cooking. I’ve taught Montessori and also have experience in Waldorf education.
I am a mother of 3 including twin 8 year old girls and a 10 year old boy. My children are in Waldorf education and I have volunteered in the handwork programs and library.
Open to a nanny share position for two infants-3 year olds in Petaluma or Novato (rate $18-$20/ family/ hour.)

"Kimberly is action packed adventure fir kiddos my boys still ask all the time to spend with Kimberly (my youngest asks to have private play dates with her all the time). They craft, create, go on adventures all the time, when we were on lockdown she also got them to do schoolwork with little effort. I can’t express to you how great it is having Kimberly in my boys life. A"

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

Petaluma 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.
