A little bit about me…

Hi! My name is Alexa and I am an 18 year old senior in high school. I offer last minute babysitting requests but am also interested in looking for a consistent babysitting job! I think my best babysitting quality is that I am very understanding and patient. This comes in handy when meeting all sorts of new kids, from the shyest to the most eccentric. I am also great and coming up with fun games and always make sure to make the yummiest snacks!

I can provide my own transportation and am capable of picking up and dropping off when it comes to extracurriculars. As a senior in high school I am available during the week anytime after 3pm, but on weekends I am completely free. I love dogs and cats so I can of course help to take care of any pet related necessities.

Most importantly I’m hardworking, kindhearted, responsible, and someone you can trust to ensure the safety of your child!

"Alexa has been such a pleasant and positive influence on my kids. She has been the greatest help I could ask for! Always making herself available when needed, never denying my children help when asked and even having them look forward to after school homework time just to see her. 100% would hire and recommend her a million times over!"

"My family was very lucky to have Almendra carrying for our daughter. She always came on time and with a happy and energetic demeanor. As a first time mom, Almendra would give me tips and tricks to getting my daughter to eat and sleep better. She would bring meals prepared at her home that she thought my daughter would enjoy eating. She also made sure the dishes were cleaned and my daughters toys were put away at the end of her shift. She truly cared about my daughter and would check in on her on the days she was not working. Anyone would be lucky to have Almendra caring for their child."

A little bit about me…

Hello! I’m Harleen and I am the older sibling of a huge family so babysitting is something I’ve been doing for a while :) I enjoy volunteering at my old pre-school which includes preparing meals for the kids, teaching lessons, remaining organized, and taking care of kids ranging in ages from 1 to 6! I would say patience is a dominant trait of mine, and I am dedicated to ensuring both fun and well-being for kids under my care.

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

San Jose 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.
